I have but got to re attempt

Answer

We have been doing what is considered very gentle sleep training for a while now. Which for us so far is just having a solid routine for naps and bedtime. It was a slower process than CIO but I think it has been worth it now because he really knows when sleep is supposed to be, even if we are traveling. I am still looking to improve a bit the past few weeks have been pretty great.

Answer

We set a nap/bedtime routine, follow sleep cues and appropriate awake windows, and practiced putting him down drowsy but awake. There was no crying involved. 
Technically this was sleep training, aka helping him learn to fall asleep on his own and comfort himself, but I find when people say “sleep training” they usually mean CIO to some extent. Either full extinction or some variation with intervals of crying. So if that’s what you mean then “no, we didn’t need to”
