We co-sleep and don’t know how to stop. Can Actually Sleeping help?
Yes. Many Actually Sleeping families started out co-sleeping. In this video, parents who shared a bed for months, some sleeping upright or on the floor, describe babies and toddlers now sleeping in their own crib or room. Dr. Sam writes a plan for the move to your baby’s own sleep space, with bootcamp-style coaching before night one and daily 1:1 check-ins.
What parents who had this worry say
“I have had a co-sleeping baby for the last six months. I’ve averaged probably four hours of sleep a night each night.”
“He woke up every two hours and using me as a human pacifier.”
“Co-sleeping definitely was not in the plan for me and my husband.”
“I was actually sleeping upright in bed holding him, because we started off by co-sleeping.”
“He started sleeping in his own bed, in his own room.”
Why co-sleeping is hard to undo
Many families never plan to co-sleep. It starts on a hard night and becomes the only way anyone sleeps. After months of it, the baby knows no other way to fall asleep, and parents are too tired to try something new.
The parents in this video describe nights of waking every hour, sleeping upright, or one parent moving to the couch. They also describe how it ended.

Will my baby have to cry alone in a new room?
