Is the free consultation just a sales pitch?

No. The free consultation is a conversation about your baby’s sleep, schedule and history. Because results are guaranteed in writing, Actually Sleeping only accepts families it believes it can help, and it does turn families away. Parents in this video who thought it was fake or a gimmick describe booking anyway, and their babies sleeping within the first nights.

What parents who had this worry say

“I literally was scared and I thought it was fake and I thought it was a gimmick, but it really worked.”

“So we reached out, got a consultation, and I was just praying that we would get chosen.”

“And my gosh. All her testimonials and her videos weren’t lying.”

“The consultation is free. You should at least give them a shot and just hear what they have to say.”

“Seriously, book the free consultation and get your baby sleeping right. Do not even question it.”

“And within twenty five minutes the first night, she ended up going to sleep on her own in her crib.”

Why parents expect a hard sell

In most industries, a free consultation exists to close a sale. If you are exhausted and already doubtful, you may expect pressure, a script and a decision you are pushed to make on the spot.

Parents in this video were skeptical too. Some thought it was fake. One describes hoping her family would be chosen, because Actually Sleeping does not accept every family.

What actually happens on the consultation

The consultation is a two-way conversation about your baby: age, feeding, how your baby falls asleep now, what you have tried and how your days run. Because the result is guaranteed, the team has no interest in enrolling a family it does not expect to succeed. You leave with your questions answered whether or not you work together. Pricing is custom to your baby and is set on the free consultation.

Families who go ahead get a custom plan written by Dr. Sam, bootcamp-style coaching before night one, daily 1:1 check-ins and naps coached until solid, backed by the guarantee: “We guarantee that your baby will sleep 8–12 hours through the night within 14 days of consistent, correct implementation of your sleep plan.”

Several parents here say the reviews and videos are what made them book, and that what they found matched. That is why Actually Sleeping publishes 129 client video reviews you can watch before you decide.

Frequently asked

Is the consultation really free?

Yes. The consultation is free and there is no obligation. It is where you talk through your baby’s sleep, ask your questions and hear what a plan would focus on. Pricing is custom to your baby and is set on the free consultation. Any price you find online is incorrect.

Will I be pressured to sign up?

No. Because the result is guaranteed with a full refund, the team only accepts families it believes it can help, and it does turn families away. You leave the consultation with your questions answered whether or not you work together.

What should I have ready for the consultation?

Know your baby’s age, how they fall asleep now, how often they wake, how they feed and what you have already tried. If two parents share the nights, it helps for both to join, so you both hear the reasoning.
