Won’t my baby just grow out of waking at night?
Parents in this video waited months, some more than a year, for their child to grow out of night waking. For them, it did not stop on its own. Once they started with Actually Sleeping, they describe children sleeping through within the first nights, and say they wish they had started sooner. Every plan is written for the child by Dr. Sam, with daily 1:1 check-ins.
What parents who had this worry say
“And I thought he’d eventually just grow out of waking three to four times during the night.”
“We were waiting and waiting, and we were not getting any sleep and going crazy.”
“And our son has... He’s never slept through the night since he’s been born.”
“So by night three, she was sleeping through the night and she has been sleeping through ever since.”
“By the sixth night, he was sleeping consistently eleven hours every single night.”
“I only wish that we would have started sooner.”
Why parents wait for it to pass
Parents hear it everywhere: it is a phase, a regression, a growth spurt, and your baby will grow out of it. Waiting feels like the sensible, gentle choice.
The parents in this video waited too, some for a year or more. For them, the wake-ups did not fade with time. They changed once each family had a plan.
Why waiting often does not fix it
Night waking is often tied to how a child falls asleep. A child who needs feeding, rocking or a parent in the bed at bedtime tends to need the same help again during the night, and for many families that pattern simply continues as the child gets older. Dr. Sam writes a plan for your child’s age and habits, with bootcamp-style coaching before night one and daily 1:1 check-ins. Naps are coached until solid. It is not cry it out and not wait it out. 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.”
Families here tried waiting, asking around and doing their own research before starting. One family had bought a bed big enough to share with their toddler, planning to move him out slowly. Another had a son who had never slept through since birth. Actually Sleeping wrote each of them a plan for where they actually were.

Frequently asked
Is it a phase my baby will grow out of?
Parents in this video believed that too, some for over a year, and for them the waking did not stop on its own. If wake-ups have followed the same pattern for weeks, it is worth getting a plan. Dr. Sam writes one for your child’s age and habits.
Is it too late if we have waited a long time?
No. Actually Sleeping works with babies and toddlers from newborn on. Families in this video started after months or years of night waking and describe children sleeping through within the first nights.
What if a regression hits later?
Families in the reviews describe sleep holding through regressions, illness and travel. The coaching before night one prepares you for these, and naps and night wake-ups are coached until they are solid.
