To lie to the midwives/health visitors about sleeping arrangements

[Butitssafe]

My fourth is a week old. Not my first rodeo.
I’ve done all my research and was really pleased that recent advice (ie lullaby trust et al) has changed in terms of not completely de-crying cosleeping and sharing ways in which to do
so safely.
I have decided to sleep with my baby in my bed at night following all this guidance.
However, I know trusts are slow to update policy/change culture etc and I’ve been asked so often about how she is sleeping and been told sharply so many times they ‘can’t recommend and don’t advise’ cosleeping that I decided, before she was born, that I was going to fib and tell them she goes down in her Moses basket (she has one for daytime naps etc) and that’s what I’ve been doing.
aibu?

I co slept woth all 4 from about 3 months onwards. I was too worried before 3 months. Had the usual rant from the hv about it. But by baby number 4 they would just say you know all this anyway but don't forget xyz and then off they went

I voted YABU, but only because you are making the choice to co-sleep so I see no reason to hide it,
I co-slept 18 years ago and I admitted it, was told why I shouldn't, thanked them for the advice and continued to co-sleep.
I honestly don't think I would have got any quality sleep any other way.
I was happy to have HV but I felt like they were there to tell me what I should do, but when I asked any question of advice, I always got the response of "every baby is different" so I then used this response when they questioned any of my actions (not about co-sleeping, I understood what they were saying).
My brother and his wife also used co-sleeping, lost one of their tiny babies to cot death so that did very much change my view of co-sleeping but I didn't have any more children to have to make the decision again.

Other than fact you are a grown assed woman and lying about how you are choosing to parent your baby is… odd.

just own it. I did. And the HV said “thanks for honestly, it is refreshing!” And we moved on to the next tedious thing on her list.

and I never saw or heard from her again

I would be interested to know which countries have recorded no cases of SIDS? ….. very interested

We should be giving evidence based advice.

I discuss co sleeping and the safe 7 as per the lullaby trust. I reiterate that you must never ever cosleep if there are xyz risk factors at play.

Evidence tells us that safe co sleeping is just as safe.
