All reviews · Newborn to 3 months · 4 to 6 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.”
Lindsay C. & Emma
Night 1 · Emma · 14 months — sleep was getting worse every night, keeping mom out of her own bed and creating tension throughout the household
“On the first night she woke once and put herself back to sleep without us intervening. I don't dread bedtime anymore, Emma is so much happier, and I finally have time to prepare for the next day and feel like myself again.”
Would you recommend it? “I would — I've already been telling people at work how wonderful it has been. The coaching took out the guesswork and gave me accountability and encouragement.”
Taylor A. & Theo
Night 4 · Theo · 10 months — started at 8 months after modified Ferber and ChatGPT advice still left 3+ wakeups and mom sleeping in a recliner
“By night four he slept through the night. We have dinner, watch a movie, and enjoy our evenings again — even regressions, teething, ear infections, and camping haven't undone his sleep.”
Would you recommend it? “Yes. The personalized coaching gave us confidence, ended my bedtime anxiety, and created changes that actually lasted.”
Alex G. & Jade
1 Night · 15 months old — hadn't slept in 14 months
“By the second night she fell asleep on her own within minutes. Sleeping through the night ever since.”
Would you recommend it? “100000%!!! Samantha and her team were there for us every step of the way… EVERY step.”
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.”
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.”
Cassie R. & Kenai
4 Days · Kenai · 14 months — co-sleeping, waking every two hours and using mom as a human pacifier after the family tried for over a year
“By the fourth day, he was sleeping on his own; by the fifth, he wanted to go to bed. Now he sleeps nearly 12 hours, points to his crib, and goes down without crying.”
Would you recommend it? “Yes. We're all sleeping through the night, our family is happier, and my husband and I finally have our evenings and marriage back.”
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.”
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.”
Kay P. & Kamora
Night 1 · Kamora · 14 months — breastfed to sleep and all through the night while dad paced the floor to get her down
“I thought she was a stubborn, fights-to-the-end type of baby, but following the steps actually worked. She slept through the night on night one, and every night after that for 10 nights in a row.”
Would you recommend it? “Absolutely! The real proof was in my personal experience. Sam and her team have been amazing from the very beginning.”
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.”
