We did Ferber with DD1 around 7/8 months and it worked great.
With DD2 I can usually give her a paci and she is asleep within 15 minutes. We will probably do Ferber at 7/8 months to wean her from needing the paci to fall asleep

I voted "other" because I'm not sure I really do anything. Also- she is by no means a magic baby (anymore). However, this past week I upped her bed time and it seems to be helping a little. I realized her bedtime of 7:30 was too late because by then she was overtired and would eventually just "crash". So now, I've been having her bathed, read to, and fed by 7 and she's been pretty good about falling asleep.
We're sort of winging it. DS has been mostly pretty good about going to sleep when I put him in his crib, but the last two nights he's cried hard. I figured he was probably hungry too, so I nursed him and he fell asleep - and last night slept for 8+ hours. I'm happy, he's happy - it's working for us. I don't know if we'll get this lucky with the next baby!

DS#1: Cry it out/ferber starting at 6 or 7 months
DS#2 will do the same at 6/7 months if his eczema is under control (he wakes up a lot now itchy)
