Will Actually Sleeping work for my baby?

Parents in this video were sure their baby would be the exception. Many had already tried other programs, gentle methods and every swaddle. They describe babies sleeping through within a few nights. Actually Sleeping has coached 700+ families with a plan written for each baby by Dr. Sam, and the result is guaranteed in writing, with a full refund if it does not happen.

What parents who had this worry say

“It’s not gonna work. It’s not gonna work. It’s working.”

“Everything I could think of, I had googled. I had done other programs.”

“I fully committed and I was super consistent with it and my mind was absolutely blown.”

“All the tips and tricks that I did with her just weren’t working for Autumn. And within three to four days after starting, Autumn was sleeping through the night.”

“I seriously thought that this would never happen. Actually Sleeping actually worked for me.”

“I just didn’t think I had babies that slept, but the program worked.”

Why so many parents think their baby is the exception

By the time most families reach us, they have already tried things on their own. A method that worked for a friend’s baby, or for their own first child, did nothing for this one. After enough failed attempts, it is natural to decide the problem is the baby.

The parents in this video felt exactly that. What they found was that their baby could sleep. The plan they had been following simply was not built for that baby’s age, feeding, temperament and way of falling asleep.

How Actually Sleeping plans for your specific baby

Dr. Sam writes every plan personally, starting from your baby: how they fall asleep now, what happens at each waking, how they feed and nap, and how your days run. Before night one you get bootcamp-style coaching, so you know exactly what to do at every moment and can make decisions on your own at night. Daily 1:1 check-ins follow, and naps are coached until solid. It is not cry it out and not wait it out.

The outcome is 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.” If that does not happen, you receive a full refund.

Frequently asked

What if my baby is more stubborn than the babies in the videos?

Many parents in the reviews described their baby the same way before starting. Dr. Sam writes the plan for your baby’s temperament, and daily 1:1 check-ins adjust it when your baby responds differently than expected. The guarantee covers the result, with a full refund if it does not happen.

We have tried several methods already. Does that make it harder?

No. Most families who come to Actually Sleeping have already tried things on their own. What you tried, and how your baby reacted, is useful information for Dr. Sam when she writes your plan, because it shows what your baby needs that a generic method missed.

What exactly is guaranteed?

The written guarantee reads: “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.
