No sleep training here, not even gentle methods (altho I guess it was our own gentle methods?) So far DS and DD1 learned to stay in bed and go to sleep around the age of 2? (OMG.. I'm forgetting already!!) and slept through the night consistently around 2 1/2 for DS and just over 3 for DD. We've parented to sleep until they were ready, and we have really good 'bed-goers' and sleepers now. I'm holding on to that as I deal with DD2 now and her constant waking for feeds through the night.

As a side note, we co-sleep, and around the age of 15 months we've started them in their own big bed, and they would come in to us after their first waking. We seem to have had natural progressions from self-settling as little babies, to needing help from around 7/8 mths (the girls anyway.. DS fed to sleep for 2 years LOL) which was rocking or cuddling, to sitting with them on the bed and feeding/cuddling to sleep. Then eventually they were old enough to be praised excitedly for staying in bed while mummy went to the loo (or whatever) and they've been great at staying in bed ever since. No real issues here, just took patience

Now to get the third big bed so DD2 can start off in her own bed and start the process all over again! haha.
