I feed my little one to sleep for naps and at bedtime. Failing that, DH takes her and cuddles her and she is out like a light. He'll put her down in bed and sometimes she wakes, so he'll pick her back up again, other times she just stays asleep.
I wish I'd known more about babies and sleep before she was born otherwise I'd have started letting her put herself to sleep from the start. But what we do works for us and she gets loads of cuddles which is very important to me and DH.
