Is my toddler too old for Actually Sleeping?
It is not too late. Actually Sleeping works with babies and toddlers, from newborn on. Families in this video started with children from about nine months to over two years old, many after a year or more of co-sleeping or waking every few hours. They describe toddlers putting themselves to sleep and sleeping through in their own crib within the first nights.
What parents who had this worry say
“He’s two years and three months, and we’ve been kind of co-sleeping basically the entire time. He’s put himself to sleep and slept the whole night.”
“My two year old had been waking up literally every couple hours throughout the night.”
“After about sixteen months of not getting a full eight hours of sleep, I was exhausted, and Asher was sleeping through the night eight to ten hours in his crib by night four.”
“So we have a 17 month old that was still waking four to five times a night. And long story short, this absolutely works.”
“My husband and I have our alone time back.”
Why parents of toddlers think they missed the window
Much of what parents read about sleep focuses on babies. If your child is walking, talking and still waking at night, it can feel like the chance has passed and you just have to wait it out.
Families in this video had toddlers who had co-slept for a year or more, or woke every couple of hours. They describe the same turnaround younger babies have.
How Actually Sleeping works with toddlers
Toddlers bring their own things to the plan: they climb, negotiate, stall and remember how bedtime used to go. Dr. Sam writes the plan for your child’s age and habits, and the bootcamp-style coaching before night one prepares you for exactly what to expect. Daily 1:1 check-ins follow, and naps are coached until solid. It is not cry it out and not wait it out, and the result is guaranteed in writing: “We guarantee that your baby will sleep 8–12 hours through the night within 14 days of consistent, correct implementation of your sleep plan.”

Frequently asked
Is there an age when it is too late?
Actually Sleeping works with babies and toddlers from newborn on. Families in the reviews include children well past two who had co-slept or woken at night for most of their lives, and who now sleep through in their own beds.
My toddler has co-slept since birth. Can that change?
Yes. Several families in this video co-slept for a year or more before starting. Dr. Sam writes a plan for moving your child into their own sleep space, with coaching before night one and daily 1:1 check-ins.
Is the guarantee the same for toddlers?
Yes: “We guarantee that your baby will sleep 8–12 hours through the night within 14 days of consistent, correct implementation of your sleep plan.” If that does not happen, the family receives a full refund.
