My husband isn’t on board with sleep training. What do other families say?
In this video, dads and partners who were skeptical at first describe what changed their minds: results in the first nights, a written money-back guarantee, and a rested household. One dad says it took some convincing to get his wife to agree. Other parents describe a better marriage, more time together, and a husband who feels like a better dad.
What parents who had this worry say
“It took a little convincing to get my wife to agree to the program.”
“Somewhat skeptical, but nonetheless hopeful that Sam’s the real deal. You’d be lucky to have her work with you, and I’m very glad we did.”
“My wife sent it over to me. We noticed results since the first night. He fell asleep by himself in the first night, and after that, the progress was amazing.”
“Night one was surprisingly smoother than we anticipated.”
“My husband feels like a better dad.”
“Our marriage is thriving. Our son is thriving.”
Why one parent is often less sure
It is common for two parents to see sleep differently. One may worry about crying, one may doubt it will work, and one may simply be used to coping. In this video, the hesitant parent is sometimes the dad and sometimes the mom.
What the families describe is how that changed: the guarantee, a first night that was smoother than expected, and then a house where everyone sleeps. Several talk about their relationship as much as their baby.
What families describe about Actually Sleeping
Families describe one plan, written by Dr. Sam for their baby, and bootcamp-style coaching before night one so the adults doing bedtime know exactly what the plan asks. Daily 1:1 check-ins follow. It is not cry it out and not wait it out, which several skeptical parents say mattered to them. The result is guaranteed: “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 of the parents speaking here are dads. They describe noticing results from the first night, a calmer house, and more time with each other in the evenings once their baby was asleep. The moms describe husbands who are glad to see them rested, and one says her husband feels like a better dad.
