It took M about a week to do really good with it. But now with sep anxiety its not going do well.
I always put a stuffed doll in the crib too. She will give all her tiredcues but then lay in there and roll/play for 5+ min. She stays happy with a toy.

We did it too and had a few set backs (according to dh "she fell asleep in my arms drinking a bottle, no big deal") but note it is going really well! We are at the point where we can be out of sight and she will do her thing and fall asleep. Dh still hovers a bit, but i've been encouraging him to step back.
In terms of sttn,, she has been for a week now! Its incredible she had been up 3+ times a night before.
Eta: the first few nights it took an hour + but then it got easier. Now she rolls around for 5-20 mins and is out. She uses a lovey and at night she has the seahorse as well.
Orris how long did it take you to get to that point?? I think we are going to start this weekend. We are trying to do it all at once -- along with ditching the sleep suit and possibly night weaning.
