We were lucky - our guys went to sleep pretty well on their own, but there were a few times where they were crying and we needed to stop ourselves from going in.
I think we did a thing where we'd go in immediately after the first shout; if he cried again, wait five minutes before going in; then ten minutes, etc. IIRC it took a few nights.
We did this too when he was like 10 months. Hm, perhaps it is time to try again.
