Yep, it's totally okay hun . I personally love the No-Cry Sleep Solution for reassurance. Although it has 'plans' that you can try, it also talks alot about what is 'normal' for babies, what they need and why, and helps you to assess whether there really is anything you need to change at all! But any of the other books listed will help you too.

It sucks that there is no easy solution, but know that it will end one day . This will all seem a distant memory! In the meantime, just go with whatever works, and I mean whatever. I too found co sleeping difficult, until DS was about 8 months, and I was just soooo sleep deprived that somehow co sleeping became the better option, mostly just because I ALWAYS fell asleep while feeding him. In fact, I often wouldn't really wake up when DS did, even if I was getting him from his cot in the next room!!! But we did move past all of that, and co sleeping when it happens is lovely these days and he can also sleep in his own bed . You know, in a years time you'll probably be saying all these reassuring words back to me .

Oh, and MR is right, pretty much all sleep schools will advocate some form of cc. I went to a day stay, and although they didn't force me to do things I wasn't comfortable with, I still wasn't overly happy with their methods. I did keep up with them for a month at home, but it was REALLY hard and I was so much more tired than I'd ever been. DS just could not sleep through at that age. Things were much easier when we went back to what we'd been doing . You live and learn I guess!

Take care hun, rest when you can, and just close your eyes and dream of those pina coladas .
