I am frequently asked for names of practitioners who are supportive of safe cosleeping (either roomsharing or bedsharing), so I asked my network to help me compile a list!
Please note that inclusion in this list does NOT constitute an endorsement of a practitioner, nor guarantee that they are in fact cosleeping-friendly. This is a community-crowdsourced list so I have not personally vetted each practitioner nor have I verified their approach to cosleeping. It is merely a starting point for families and caregivers. Please take care to interview healthcare providers thoroughly for yourself!
