Lots of great advice on already, but I'll chip in my 2 cents.
For my kid, we never sleep trained him. We tried when he was 1, but it was a terrible experience, and we couldn't handle crying.
We pulled the tuck and roll, and still do. We found that reading to him in bed helped a lot, and also just tuck and rolling, and sometimes even falling asleep with him in bed while cuddling worked wonders. Now he's 5, and he just needs us to be around til he falls asleep.
Everybody is different, but the tuck and roll worked the best for us, even though it's a 50/50 whether I fall asleep with him or not. But it doesn't bother me any.
Good luck! It does get better
