Does anyone else feel like they’re doing it all wrong?

I’m a FTM and it’s definitely been a learning experience... Since my son was born I have just held him so much, rocked him to sleep and put him in bed with me. I’m a SAHM so he is very very attached to me. He’s 15 months old and has never slept in his crib. He would cry and wake up the minute I put him down. If I put him down on a bed, he’ll sleep for hours. So, I converted his crib to a full-size bed and bought these huge rails to essentially make his full-size bed into a huge crib. Well, it’s not very sturdy and he could still get out so now I am sleeping in my son’s converted bed with him while my husband still sleeps in our king bed... We are moving to a new house in a few months and I just want to sleep in my own bedroom with my husband again in our new house and I don’t think it’s possible. A part of me thinks I should buy a low to the ground toddler bed for my son so he’ll be safe and learn to sleep on his own. But then there’s the part of me that is afraid that something will happen in the middle of the night and I won’t be next to my son to notice. Last month he had a very very high fever in his sleep and I noticed because I felt the heat coming off of him. I just feel like I’m doing this whole thing wrong and so many moms I know just put their kid down to sleep and are already having more babies and I just don’t feel I can get pregnant again and have another baby when my son still needs to be rocked to sleep and won’t sleep on his own. Any advice is welcome...
