My three month old won't sleep unless i hold him or sleep beside him.

Jordan
I'm a SAHM so he's with me everyday all day. He'll sleep maybe 10-15 minutes and then he stirs and realizes I'm not there and cries until I pick him up. I know all he wants is me. I've tried putting an item that smells like me with him. That doesn't work. CIO isn't an option for me. I just can't do it. Not yet anyway. I might consider it when he's older. Any other mom's have success getting their baby to sleep without you not using the CIO method?
