All reviews · Newborn to 3 months · 7 to 9 months · 10 to 12 months · 12 months and older
Jacqueline & Triplets
Triplets · Triplet girls + a 3-year-old — started at 4 months, sleeping through since
“Three babies to sleep plus a three-year-old — we were struggling really bad. They've been sleeping through the night ever since we started. Bed at 7, wake up at 7.”
Would you recommend it? “I would 100% recommend working with Sam so you can get everybody in your house sleeping again.”
Nicole A. & Mason
Few Nights · Mason · 6 months — waking every hour, failed sleep training with first child
“Within the first few nights all night feeds were gone. It's completely life-changing. I am just truly mind blown at how effective the results were, so quickly.”
Would you recommend it? “If you are struggling with sleep, this is the solution. Nothing else works. Tried it all.”
Julia T. & Emma
Night 1 · Emma · 6 months — waking 2-3 times for a bottle, unpredictable sleep, and getting overtired
“She slept 12 hours on the very first night. Now her naps are predictable, I can plan work calls, and we finally have a schedule that works for our family.”
Would you recommend it? “Absolutely. As two working-parent CEOs, dependable sleep has been life-changing for our whole family.”
Robyn S.
3 Nights · 5 months — started at 3 months; needed help resettling overnight and transitioning from fully contact naps to the crib
“It took about three nights to reach eight hours and four or five nights to reach 10+ hours. Now he sleeps from 7:30 to 7 — I put him in bed, he goes to sleep with no tears, and if he wakes early, he waits happily.”
Would you recommend it? “Absolutely. Knowing Sam is in your corner is a huge help mentally. She was an amazing sounding board through a medical blip, and she is always there to help.”
Maddie D. & Benjamin
6 Days · Benjamin · 5 months — co-sleeping, nursing every hour, and mom working remotely while caring for him full time
“It only took six days to go from co-sleeping and nursing every hour to 11+ hour stretches. The way Samantha laid it out was really simple, and I understood why we were doing it.”
Would you recommend it? “Absolutely. Benjamin is happier and well regulated, my relationship with my husband is better, and I'm no longer living like a giant ball of stress.”
Nikki T. & Bea
Night 2 · Bea · 5 months — breastfed and co-sleeping, waking multiple times; mom was returning to work and needed longer, independent naps
“On night two, she was sleeping and only getting up once to eat. By day 12 or 13, she had slept through every night since night two and was napping independently in her crib without crying or fussing.”
Would you recommend it? “Absolutely. The individualized plan, clear steps, support, and rapid results made this completely different from trying everything alone.”
Natalia S. & David
Night 1 · David · 4.5 months — waking multiple times and needing to be held for naps, leading to overtired meltdowns
“Nothing worked until Sam and the team tailored a plan specifically to our baby. Now he sleeps through the night, naps in his crib or on the go, and we understand exactly when he needs to sleep.”
Would you recommend it? “Yes, because it simply works. If you're looking for well-rested nights and a sleep-trained baby, this is it.”
Susan H. & Hallie
Night 1 · Hallie · 5 months — would only sleep with contact, on mom's chest in the evenings; busy family with two older kids
“It took one night — she slept straight through, 11 hours. We're on day 11 and she sleeps 11-12 hours a night. This is baby #2 and we've never had a better sleeper.”
Would you recommend it? “Absolutely! The support is exceptional and the results happen FAST. I'd 110% recommend it.”
Abbey V. & Jaxson
2 Days · Jaxson · 6 months old
“You didn't say hope — you said GUARANTEE . Jaxson sleeps through the night now and he's overall more happy.”
Would you recommend it? “Sam and Kale are very friendly people and they care for you as much as they do your child!”
Bridget & Jacob S.
2 Weeks · Lizzie · 5 months — couldn't be laid down, held for every nap
“Within the first two weeks she was consistently sleeping through the night. Life is so much more predictable and we have peace of mind knowing she's sleeping safely.”
Would you recommend it? “Yes (and we have!) because it has made life much more predictable.”
Spencer & Kaitlyn B. — Genevieve
10 Days · Genevieve · 6 months — started around 4 months, waking every 30 minutes to two hours, feeding or rocking back to sleep, and taking every nap on a parent
“Within a few days she was napping independently, and by about day ten she was sleeping from 7:30 PM to 7:30 AM. Our once-colicky, unhappy baby is rested and thriving.”
Would you recommend it? “Yes. The one-on-one plan and daily support helped us make a change we couldn't have managed alone.”
McKenna & Miley
Night 1 · Miley · 3.5 months — needed her pacifier replaced 2-3 times a night and sometimes every 30 minutes, leaving mom exhausted
“She slept through the night on night one. Now she consistently sleeps 12 hours and usually doesn't wake at all — we're both happier and well rested.”
Would you recommend it? “Absolutely. The plan was clear, the support made me confident, and the change happened immediately.”
Melissa H. & Leah
<1 Week · Leah · 5 months — co-sleeping, waking 2-3 times, fighting naps, getting increasingly fussy, and needing 30-40 minutes of rocking to settle
“In less than a week she was sleeping through the night. Now every nap and bedtime is in her own crib, she falls asleep independently, and our calm schedule even carried us through the four-month regression.”
Would you recommend it? “Yes. I couldn't have done it without the exact instructions, fast answers, everyday one-on-one coaching, support, and motivation — I would have quit on my own.”
Madeline & Luca
2 Nights · Luca · 4 months — naps and bedtime took up to an hour of rocking, wearing on her and her marriage
“He's been sleeping through the night since day two — seven nights in a row, no night feeds. He puts himself to sleep in a minute or two and is literally excited for bed.”
Would you recommend it? “Highly, highly recommend. There's so much flexibility, and having that constant coaching was exactly what I needed.”
Kate E. & Milo
Night 2 · Milo · 5 months — a previous online sleep plan led to repeated 45-minute crying spells; mom wanted hands-on coaching and the least overall tears possible
“On night two, he slept all the way through and has ever since. He naps independently, can sleep at Grandma's, and my husband and I are back in our own bed sleeping full nights.”
Would you recommend it? “I already have. Both kids are sleeping, happier and healthier, and I'm able to show up for my family in a completely different way. Don't think twice.”
Emilee K. & Ava
Night 1 · Ava · 6 months
“If you want some more of your life back, you want some quality time with your husband or wife back, could not recommend this more.”
Would you recommend it? “Because it actually WORKS & works FAST! The peace you have knowing that your baby will sleep through the night & take perfect naps on their own is priceless.”
Mary H. & Olivia
5 nights · Olivia · 6 months
“The Actually Sleeping program actually changed our lives.”
Would you recommend it? “Yes 100%. This was my second baby and she was much different than my first. Sometimes you just need someone's professional help to get you where you need to be.”
Amanda W. & Colton
Night 1 · Colton · 5 months
“And actually sleeping on the first night, we got ten hours of sleep.”
Would you recommend it? “Absolutely!! The results that we got were so fast and will change your life in so many ways you wouldnt believe”
Katherine & Ian L. — Dominic
Night 3 · Dominic · 4 months; started at 3.5 months
“now he falls asleep on his own within minutes.”
Would you recommend it? “Yes, I have recommended this to everyone. I know I think every baby can sleep and there should be no parent who was struggling to get sleep with their baby. Sam works one on one with every baby too and you don't get that everywhere else.”
Kacie S. & Jase
4 Nights · Jase · 6 months — started at 5 months; only 2-3 hour stretches after the 4-month regression, and parents who work odd hours and rely on overnight help
“The very first night he gave us a 6-hour stretch, which hadn't happened since before the 4-month sleep regression. Now he gives us 10-11 hours at night, he's a much happier baby, and we have our evenings to ourselves.”
Would you recommend it? “1000% — to ANYONE. I wish we'd done it sooner. When Sam says she creates a plan for you with the least amount of tears overall, she means it.”
Andrea & Santiago D. — Georgia
Night 3 · Georgia · 6 months — bed-sharing and nursing every hour all night, with naps only in the carrier
“She slept through the night on the third night. We have a clear, predictable schedule, everyone is getting restorative rest, and our baby is SO much happier.”
Would you recommend it? “Yes! Sleeping on your own is an essential skill, and Sam makes it so straightforward and easy. Having her as our quarterback was amazing.”
Michelle N. & Abigail
Night 1 · Abigail · 4.5 months — nursed to sleep and struggling with both nights and naps
“Three weeks ago she didn't know how to go to sleep on her own. Now she's sleeping away, and I'm enjoying coconut sorbet with my newfound freedom in the evening.”
Would you recommend it? “Yes, because the technique makes sense and they know what they're doing.”
Taylor K. & Lily
2 Nights · Lily · 6 months — started at 3 months; night feeds and barely napping, with mom about to return to work
“Within a couple of days she was sleeping through the night, and the night feed was gone. It's been a complete 180 — I know I'll get the sleep I need to be my best at work.”
Would you recommend it? “Yes! What was promised was delivered.”
Erika C. & Kameron
Night 1 · Kameron · 6 months — waking 5–6 times a night, would only go back down with a bottle
“We followed the program to a T. That night, he slept all night long, and every single night since. The guarantee is actually guaranteed. Our lives are completely different.”
Would you recommend it? “Without a doubt. They have a system that works. The real person-to-person communication is everything.”
Kaytlen B. & Maeverly
Night 1 · Maeverly · 4 months — sleeping 2–3 hours at a time and only if held; mom living on the couch with a weighted swaddle and paci
“The first night in her crib she slept from 8 PM to 3 AM — absolutely mind blowing, and it only got better from there. Now she sleeps 10 to 11 hours a night. I'm in my own bed and she's in hers.”
Would you recommend it? “10/10. It's the best program ever and it actually works. I keep talking about it to everyone that will listen.”
Alyssa A. & Charlie
3 Nights · Charlie · 6 months — waking every hour, only slept if held; mom on 3 hours of broken sleep with husband leaving for 4 weeks
“We started on a Tuesday and by Friday he was already doing so much better. He now sleeps almost 12 hours straight in his own room and puts himself to sleep for bedtime and naps. I'm getting 8 hours — that hasn't happened since my first trimester.”
Would you recommend it? “Yes, and I already have, because it works and it works quickly. I really like the support from Sam and how she walks us through every scenario.”
