I need some sleep training advice

Ally

My son sleeps in bed with me. My husband stays up most of the night so we have room to ourselves anyways. But I've been working about a month or two and I would like my bed back. I need some training tips. He has a room but I'm not ready for him to be in there yet. So we have a pack n play in our room. I can't lay him down without him waking up. If I do it doesn't last 5 minutes. I'm not big on the cry it out method. Its hard for me to hear. Anyone help
