While I don't have kids, I have been around enough in my family to second the "babies need to go through a stage where they comfort themselves to sleep" thing. My parents were fostering a little boy who was mostly blind, and he went through the stage where he just had to cry himself to sleep. Sucked for me (I was about nine at the time) but it worked. Make sure your kid is fed, dry diaper, that kind of thing, then just let them cry. They'll go to sleep eventually. By keeping your kid on a regular sleep schedule, you're making sure they're staying consistent with sleeping.

Don't be like my cousin who just let her kid fall asleep whenever, wherever (even standing up) because she couldn't be bothered with teaching her to fall asleep consistently!
