My baby is just a bad sleeper. Can Actually Sleeping help?
Parents in this video were sure they had a bad sleeper: preemies, colicky babies, babies waking every 45 minutes and fighting every nap. They describe those same babies putting themselves to sleep and sleeping through. Dr. Sam writes a plan for the baby you actually have, with bootcamp-style coaching before night one, daily 1:1 check-ins and a written guarantee.
What parents who had this worry say
“I just didn’t think I had babies that slept, but the program works.”
“And so the night before we started Actually Sleeping, she actually woke up 10 times, and that’s for real.”
“He would wake up constantly every forty five minutes.”
“Waking up every single hour all night and daytime naps were such a fight.”
“She was just kind of an unhappy baby and was a little colicky.”
“And on night one, she put herself to sleep.”
Why parents decide their baby is a bad sleeper
When a baby wakes every hour for months, it starts to feel like a personality trait. Parents hear that some babies just sleep badly and stop expecting anything else.
The parents in this video believed that too, sometimes about more than one child. What they describe is that their babies had not yet learned to fall asleep on their own, and could.
How Actually Sleeping works with a hard sleeper
Dr. Sam writes the plan for your baby’s temperament and history, including a premature start or a fussy early few months. If something medical is going on, your pediatrician comes first, and coaching works alongside them. Bootcamp-style coaching before night one prepares you for your baby’s particular reactions, daily 1:1 check-ins follow, and naps are coached until solid. 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.”
The parents in this video include a mom whose premature baby woke 10 times the night before they started, a mom whose baby woke every 45 minutes, and a mom who was sleeping two hours a night. Each of them got a plan written for that baby by Actually Sleeping, not a generic schedule.
