We started using it around 16 months- yes, it is a loooong process (probably took around 2 months to get consistent results, but we also traveled a few times and weaned which was disruptive). But it worked for us, and I'm really happy with it at 21 months! I would take something in with me to do so I wasn't twiddling my thumbs waiting- even just my phone with HB on it made the time pass easier.

We've had a nice long chain of good bedtimes for several months now, so I'm more than thrilled. Sure, we have crappy bedtimes once a every week or two, but usually because our day was off sleep-wise.

Reinforcing our bedtime routine helped- brush teeth, a naked lap around the house (silly, yes- but he loves it!), pajamas, pick a book and read it, put book away, then he walks to his crib and has us lift him in. Turn on Scout and his crib music entertainer, blow a few kisses, say goodnight, then leave. He's usually out within a minute or two and either of us can run the routine.
