I found the book The No-Cry Sleep Solution to be wonderful. I firmly remain in the non-CIO camp (with respect to those who disagree) because I would never leave my child alone and crying during the daytime...so I wasn't able to do it at night. I liked the book because it acknowledges that parents DO need to sleep, and children need their sleep as well, but it was consistent with the rest of my parenting.
Dr. Sears has also written wonderful books on parenting that are very attachment-oriented. He might be another good resource. I just tried to remember during my daughter's first months home that if she was a newborn I would be up every couple of hours so that's simply an (admittedly difficult) part of parenting.
The best of luck to you!
