Can anyone recommend any info or books on CIO/sleep training? Thanks

If you are looking for a method that may involve CIO (not that it's all the method entails), you could read Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems. If you're looking to avoid potential CIO'ing, I found The No Cry Sleep Solution quite helpful.

thank you, I would like to avoid cio but if it is a last resort then I might need to try. My ds sleeps pretty good but wakes up randomly at night and it is not to eat, if I pick him up he goes back to sleep. When I try to put him back down he freaks out.

How many times a night (on average) would you say you have to go in?

2-3. Sometimes I can get him to go right back to sleep with rocking some times it takes 2 hours.

Two night wakings is really normal at this age, but I've heard good things about the NCSS   I definitely try something like that first.  We have the same issue, sometimes she goes right back to sleep and other times it can take an hour.

I read NCCS & after I had gone through her suggestions, decided to move on to Sleeping Through the Night.  I was really hesitant to do CIO, but it was easier than I expected & has made the whole family happy.  I'm glad I started w/NCCS, though, bc then I knew CIO was my only remaining option, which made me feel better about it.
