when my kids were that little, luckily I did not have to go to work and punch someone elses clock, so we would just muddle through it all. I let them engage in all manner of supposedly "bad" sleep things like in the swing, in a bouncy chair, laying on me, laying next to me, oh you name it, lol!
Sleep for the baby and yourself is the real priority here, so find something(s) that work and don't let anyone tell you you're doing it wrong.
Oh, and we are huge fans of slings. Once you get used to it, if you don't already use one, your baby will likely have no problem falling asleep all over you.
