CIO-Night two
Well it took 1 hour and 25 minutes but hes ASLEEP! 
After a disasterous attemot at a crib nap that took 4 hours of my day and wasted it...We both fell alseep in the bed  for a long nap this afternoon..then we went out.
I tried a long bath, then a bottle, then 2 books and transferred to crib.
I had to stand in there holding his hand and rocking him with my hand while he laid there for about 40 minutes. I tried to leave a few times and hysterics broke out.
Finally he started to just "whine" and I knew it was my cue to leave.
45 minutes of whining and he just passed out half sitting up from exhaustion.
SOOOOOOOO
the lesson I learned is a long nap in the mid day might be the solution. Instead of 2-3 mini naps?
Not sure, but its a start.
anyone wanna bet on how long he sleeps 
Thanks for ALL the advice over the last day or few! 
Am sure I will need more!

Re: CIO-Night two
Yay!!
I've noticed Emma sleeps better at night when she actually naps for an extended period of time during the day.

I hope he sleeps all night long! For the sake of your sanity!!!
And great job! It's tough, but you're really teaching him something important here that will help him!

Yeah, here too...he does better on the days where he takes a nice long nap and sleeps well for it too.

Re: CIO-Night two
i'm so glad to hear this...i know it was long and rough but this could just be the beginning and each day it will get easier. I've noticed in the last two weeks DS's nap schedule changing so maybe what used to work for Noah is changing too. Good job!!! I predict he sleeps all night too and naps like a champ tomorrow!!!!!!

Re: CIO-Night two
My only advice is keep up with it.
Make it a routine. Tomorrow he can be off, but then the next night it might work again - be consistent!!

Re: CIO-Night two
I have to agree. One long nap is great! Better than a bunch of mini naps.
I think he will sleep through the night.
Definitley be consistent and make a routine out of it.
By this time next week, it will be a lot easier.

Hopefully this is just the start of great sleep for both of you!!!!  Hopefully his fussy time will decrease as the days go by, and you'll both be happier & more rested soon!

Great advice!
Keep it up Donna!
I firmly believe that sleep begets sleep and those long naps definitely help. Lucas does best when he has his 2 hour nap during the day.

Re: CIO-Night two
Glad that CIO finally worked for you guys.. i Keep it up and keep consistent, I learned the hard way that consistency is key!
CIO was a LIFESAVER for us, and I started late too, at about 11 months old (hardest thing I EVER did, but now we have a pretty fantastic sleeper over here  )
