I don't like giving my children chemicals, either.
It  sonds like you need to find another pediatrician who understands your values a bit better.
But:
if he starts screaming, you can;
sit with him by his bed, instead of having  him crawl into yours,
Find those two-way walkie talkies and see if your voice can soothe him from afar,
Start pairing some specific music with the comfort.
I mean, do the "conditioning approach.
For one week, have him come and lay in your bed with a specific music tape on and maybe his favorite stuffed animal.
then, eventually, wean him from your bed, but the music and animal will still be in place.
But that would take more time.
If  you just want to start with the comfort being the music and the animal and maybe your presence for fifteen/ ten/ five/three minutes, you can do that.
