If you're talking about sleep training then yes we did that. We tried 3 times - first 2 we tried to do it on our own with no help (just reading a book) and it failed miserably. The 3rd time we hired a coach to help through it and it worked in 3 days. The first night was miserable - she cried for a good 3 hours (we checked in regularly) before she fell asleep but after that it went pretty smoothly and we had a good 6-9 months of steady sleep in our house (we're now co-sleeping)

Looking back if we had just hired someone in the first place it would have been so much easier for us and we would have gotten so much more sleep.

We used Amanda at Mama Coach and really liked her. https://themamacoach.com/coaches/amanda-archibald/
