Actually Sleeping reviews from co-sleeping or bed-sharing families

16 of the 129 Actually Sleeping client video reviews were co-sleeping or bed-sharing when they started. Excerpts are in the families’ own words, with the baby’s age and starting situation.

All reviews · Newborn to 3 months · 4 to 6 months · 7 to 9 months · 10 to 12 months · 12 months and older

Sage A. & Luca

Night 1 · Luca · 13 months — never slept through the night, co-slept, rocked and bottle-fed at night; second baby due in October

“We noticed results in the first night — he fell asleep on his own. Now we put him in the crib awake and he falls asleep within one minute, through the night until 7:30 AM. It's a night and day difference — we're all more rested with way more energy for our son during the day.”

Would you recommend it? “100%. A well rested baby and parents make your whole day much more enjoyable. The results have been nothing short of amazing.”

Lindsey M. & Marco

5 Days · Marco · 10 months — co-sleeping + nursing for 6 months, averaging 4 hours of sleep a night

“I was a walking zombie. I'd tried everything — Googled, other programs, even ChatGPT — nothing worked. By night 5, Marco was sleeping 12 hours straight, 8 PM to 8 AM.”

Would you recommend it? “Definitely. We struggled for at least six months trying different programs and none of them worked — until I found Actually Sleeping.”

Amber C. & Theo

Night 1 · Theo · 13 weeks — co-sleeping since birth, nursed/rocked to sleep, second-time mom

“He has been in the program for three days and he has slept through the night three times. I don't know what to do with the extra time I have. The only regret I have is not asking for them to help me sooner.”

Would you recommend it? “100%. Because if it works for us, it will work for them. The testimonies speak for themselves — I just knew this method would work.”

Kristen H. & Colton

1 Night · Colton · 1 year — co-sleeping nearly every night, waking every 1-2 hours, tried Pampers Sleep Coach

“One night and he started sleeping in his crib. Over two weeks now — 11 hours straight, puts himself back to sleep, no fuss.”

Would you recommend it? “Yes. The results were incredible and Sam is always available for questions that arise.”

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.”

Sam M. & Charlotte

Night 1 · Charlotte · 1 year — co-sleeping, taking 1-2 hours to settle, and waking every two hours; dad is an Air Force reservist who works full-time at Tesla

“It only took one day to get her sleeping soundly in her own bed all the way through the night. Now my wife is fully rested, in a better mood, and has more energy in the morning.”

Would you recommend it? “Yes, definitely. What they teach actually works — life is so much better now that my daughter and wife both sleep soundly through the night.”

Stephanie W. & Isabella

Night 1 · Isabella · 3 months — started at 10-11 weeks; co-sleeping while the bassinet lasted only about 30 minutes

“Night one she fell asleep on her own and stayed asleep until her feed. By night two she dropped that feed. Now she sleeps about 12 hours every night, and every day gets better and better.”

Would you recommend it? “Absolutely. It changed not only my life and my husband's life — Isabella is getting great sleep too, and we can be the best parents we can be.”

Christina T. & Theo

Night 1 · Theo · 7 months — co-sleeping and needing to be held constantly, leaving mom sleeping upright while holding him

“He started sleeping through the night on night one and now sleeps for all his naps too. I'm actually sleeping, Theo is sleeping, and my husband and I have time together again.”

Would you recommend it? “Yes. Sam has it down to a science, sets you up to feel confident, and gets the job done with the least overall tears possible.”

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.”

Shana H. & Jace

Night 1 · Jace · 7 months — co-sleeping and nursing most of the night, 4-5 AM wake-ups, contact naps, and surgery during the program

“He literally slept through the night on night one in his crib, and we've slept through the night since. He even had surgery a few days into the process and didn't regress at all.”

Would you recommend it? “Yes — it's the best decision I've ever made. I couldn't have done it without the coaching support. Now we have a sleeping baby and a sleeping mama.”

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.”

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.”

Kenzie E. — Noah & Harper

Night 1 · Noah · 5 years and Harper · 2 years — three years of co-sleeping; mom travels for work and dad often works night shifts

“Both were night one. We have hours back in the week, time together as a married couple, and evenings we no longer dread.”

Would you recommend it? “Yes! It works, you need someone to stand accountable to other than yourself and your spouse, and everyone in the house is sleeping better.”

Mitra C. & Caelum

24 Hours · Caelum · 12 months — waking every 30–60 minutes all night for months; co-sleeping, shushing, rocking and nursing to sleep had all failed

“Within 24 hours my son went from waking every 30 minutes to several-hour stretches. I was adamant I would never sleep train — my son humbled me. Now we have a predictable schedule and we're all sleeping.”

Would you recommend it? “Yes! She really breaks things down, helps build confidence, and creates safety in the relationship — making it super easy to work together.”

Jessica T. & Joey

3 Nights · Joey · 23 months — had taken over the parents' bed; busy family with two teens at the ball fields

“Definitely skeptical when they said two to three days. Joey was sleeping within three nights and we have our bed back. They customized it to us and to our baby.”

Would you recommend it? “It worked. The detailed plan, the support, the accountability and honesty is what helped us sleep train our stubborn (and very smart) two-year-old.”
