CIO vs .....

my LO is 8 1/2 months old. He crawls and now pulls up to a standing position. I was a good sleeper as a baby, then around 4 months began waking every hour (and I would nurse) then got the magic slee suit and he slept 4-5 hour stretches. Once we rolled over in the suit (6months) that was over. From then on it was been us rocking him to sleep and it takes hours. I finally got him off nursing during the night but then teething happened. Long story short I really don't like CIO but I don't see another way.
Last night I thought I would give CIO a try. He went down easy cause he was sleepy (8pm), he was up standing in his crib at 10:45. I let him cry (I sat next to crib and tried to calm him without picking him up) till 1:00am. He never calmed down. I gave in and picked him up. He cried in my arms for 30 min. I went to living room to kind of start over. We sat in the dark and he was just begging for the boob. At 1:45 I gave in and nursed.
He would of stayed up all night! He slept till 5:45
I nursed again and he slept till 7:30.
Now he won't go down for a nap!
I have read books and I just wish he would just go to sleep.
