We did this with one of the babies/toddlers I took care of and it worked pretty well for us. It was a long process-- mainly because we didn't push it at all, and there was some back and forth occasionally due to traveling or teething but overall it was pretty painless. I think that if you are looking to avoid cio and are not looking for an instant fix (not that one really exists) it should work nicely.

We have basically been doing this slowly as a part of the no cry sleep solution. He now goes to sleep on his own at night and if he wakes he usually can be patted in his crib instead of being picked up and rocked. We do have gas issues though so until those are resolved I usually pick up if he looks uncomfortable since half the time he lets out a burp and passes out.

We kind of do a variation on this, if I know that Miss A has been fed, changed and burped and is just being a punk, I pick her up once, cuddle her then lie her in her cot and stroke her head until she drops off.

Just reviving this thread for a moment because we had an Isis sleep consult last night and this was the plan we came up with. We are excited to start this and finally get some sleep! For anyone interested, here is a video of a webinar on it.

@Mrs. Deer: loved it! It worked very well!
