That's great charlyfrog, that what you decided to do worked for you. Its a matter of finding what that is I think. I have tried various things. And my little one did sleep through from 8 weeks until we went on holidays when she was 4 months. Even after that (when we got home), she 'slept through', just woke up a bit earlier than before. Over the months though, its gone more and more down hill. And she can self settle, she does it sometimes during the night, just not all the time.
I think we'll just persevere with what we're currently doing and see what happens
