I never did it. I always cradled him. You only get so little time with them at that age. They need your touch.
I didn't really want to do it either, but people we know with kids say they did it and that it was tough for a night or two and then it was perfect. No more rocking to go to sleep.
I'm fine with helping in the middle of the night, but he's so particular about falling asleep. It's usually a 45 minute process after the lights go out just to get him down. He has to be in a full deep sleep while being rocked before going to the crib.

This is false to the highest degree. We did this with my kid a couple times for a week and she never once gave up fighting. She didn't want to do it...she wasn't going to do it.
There was a 3-4 month period where she would walk to her crib and put herself to sleep. But one night, and I remember it like it was yesterday, she decided it was time for a change and ever since she cried so bad it sounded like she was possessed. frick that
