Oh hun, I REALLY sympathise. I don't think I was too worried about our situation until everyone else freaked me out. I will confess that some people got me so stressed about it, I tried cc (extremely unsuccessfully, and I still feel terrible about it) for a bit, before realising that our DS is just the way he is, and that making him cry to go to sleep was terrible for everyone. As I said, I still feel guilt over that time, but mostly because I let myself feel pushed into that situation by other people. I wasn't trying new methods because it was what I thought was best for my DS, it because other people told me I needed to . Of course, I could have, and should have ignored them, as I have since learnt to do .
Yes, it definitely CAN be done! I'm sure things will go much more smoothly than you're expecting. But it's okay to feel anxious about it all, it's a big change for you both, and it might take a little bit of time to settle into the swing of things. Lots of us have BTDT, and know how stressful it can be. But it sounds as though you're doing all the right things to make the transition as smooth as possible for your baby good for you!
