So who didn't do the whole self settling deal?

Entirely sensible!
I have never trained. My DS now sleeps beautifully. My daughter is still not ready.
Sounds like he's a brilliant sleeper anyway! Why mes with that?

i didn't. DD was a reluctant sleeper with my help, i didn't see the point of pushing self settling when she wasn't sleeping much already and i figured she would get there in her own time. She still needs help to get to sleep but sleeps through the night in her own bed most nights. DD has shown me that when she is ready for change, it happens really smoothly and feels quite exciting cos she did it on her own.
