It definitely sounds tough. At least my little velcro baby was my first baby, and my second is the nice easy sleeper. I planned that well, yeah?

I guess I don't really have any good advice though. We never did any CIO techniques or anything, we just sort of waited it out. When my son moved to his own room I can't tell you how many times I ended up sleeping on his floor with my arm through his cot patting his back. And this was while I was very pregnant, lol!
