Cry it out

Lesley • 💙💙Noah And Evan💙💙
Ok so I'm just so tired and exhausted and really need to sleep. As much as I hate the sound of the cio method I'm desperate and could use any advice or tips. I just don't know if I should do it or keep suffering and hope it gets better. Son will be 5 months on the 24th. I have to nurse & rock him to sleep EVERY time. Even for naps. We co sleep as that's the only way I can even get a few hours of rest. So he falls asleep nursing and I lay down with him literally in my arm. If I try to lay him down he always wakes up. When he wakes in middle of the night I use to nurse back to sleep but now that just makes him fuss more so I have to get up and walk him back to sleep then attempt to lay down w/o waking him up.everyone just says he's spoiled & to let him cry but I feel bad just thinking about it.  I just don't know how much longer I can do this without going insane. Please help!! 😭
