All reviews · 4 to 6 months · 7 to 9 months · 10 to 12 months · 12 months and older
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.”
Jenna
Since Birth · Jenna · 32 · Montana — started with Actually Sleeping before her daughter was born
“Our daughter has slept 11-12 hours straight every night since 8 weeks old. Best decision we ever made.”
Would you recommend it? “We have an actually sleeping baby and an actually happy mama.”
Laila F. & Tarek
2 Nights · Tarek · 10 weeks — 4th baby, couldn't figure out wake windows, needed to unswaddle early for rolling
“He was sleeping by night two. He falls asleep on his own every time and has slept 11 hours every night since night two.”
Would you recommend it? “Yes! Nothing I'd done with my first three kids was working — this did.”
Ethan & Miranda H. — Leo
2 Nights · Leo · 10 weeks — started at 5-6 weeks, waking 3-4x a night, solo-parenting much of the week
“Within two nights he slept eight hours straight. Since then he gives us 10-11 hours uninterrupted every night. It unlocked an amazing maternity leave.”
Would you recommend it? “Absolutely. It works AND you get one-on-one support day in and day out. Sam tweaks your plan in real-time if something isn't working.”
Elena M. & Myles
3 Nights · Myles · 9 weeks — not sleeping day or night, overtired and dysregulated, second-time parents
“He was sleeping through the night after three nights — no long crying. Two months later he's sleeping 10-11 hours straight.”
Would you recommend it? “100%. Samantha and the team were invaluable. We're all sleeping and so much happier.”
Mallory M. & Malcolm
1 Night · Malcolm · 3 months — needed the coaching to feel confident
“On the first night he slept through the night, and by the third the crib became a safe place. He goes to sleep content and wakes up happy.”
Would you recommend it? “Absolutely. Sam explains not just the how but the why — the coaching is top tier and something you can't get anywhere else.”
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.”
Dana W. & Dean
3 Nights · Dean · 14 weeks — first-time parents and business owners, baby only slept on them
“By night 3 he slept through the night. By night 7, 10.5 hours with no wakings at all. Our work is better, our marriage is better.”
Would you recommend it? “10,000% worth every penny to get your rest and sanity back as a new parent.”
Megan J.
Sleeping · First-time mom — hadn't slept in almost a year through a rough pregnancy and newborn days
“He's been sleeping since 8:30 and I finally have this time back. I haven't slept in almost a year — I'm so thankful.”
Would you recommend it? “I'm so happy right now with this program. Thank you so much — seriously.”
Lucy & James — Woody
Night 1 · Woody · 3 months — 5th baby, used a pacifier to sleep; tried Babywise, ChatGPT, and every schedule
“After just one night he was sleeping through the night besides his approved feeding. We lay him down for naps and he smiles. We're very impressed.”
Would you recommend it? “We've tried all kinds of schedules and this is the only one that stuck. You just have to follow the routine.”
Michaela & Leo
11 Hours · Leo · 3 months — started at 2.5 months, reflux, had to be held upright, ~5 feeds a night, paying for night nurses
“Last night he slept 11 hours with no middle-of-the-night feed. I used to dread the night — now I look forward to it. And I have the happiest baby ever.”
Would you recommend it? “Sam has been amazing — like a personal trainer and therapist through first-time postpartum. I can't thank you enough.”
Leah W. & Haven
1 Week · Haven · 3 months — would only sleep while being held, forcing her parents to take turns staying awake and creating dangerous exhaustion
“After one hard night, things kept getting better. Now she sleeps through the night with no tears, takes a nap independently every day, and our entire family has more safety, peace of mind, and patience.”
Would you recommend it? “Absolutely. The directions were clear, every hiccup was coached through, and following the plan gave us safe sleep — we're all far less moody now.”
Amber K. & Claraa
~1.5 weeks · Claraa · 2 months
“this time around has been so much better, so much easier, and I'm so thankful I signed up for actually sleeping.”
Would you recommend it? “absolutely! great tips, personalized support, and so nice and helpful!”
Marlize T. & Caleb
Night 1 · Caleb · 8 weeks in written review; 3 months in video
“Actually sleeping gave me confidence as a mom, as a first time mom”
Would you recommend it? “Yes 100%. I want every parent to enjoy their baby as much as what I do now. As well as having enough sleep and time to themselves once but goes to bed for the night.p”
Laura Shih & Tommy
Night 2 · Tommy · 3 months
“He slept through the night on night number two.”
Would you recommend it? “YES! It's so much more personalized than a book/pdf/chat gpt. Getting realtime feedback specialized to our baby made a huge difference to us. Getting through the first nap was hard but Sam's coaching had us so prepared. I'm convinced we would have "failed" without her program.”
Emma J. & Naomi
Started at 3 Weeks · Naomi · 12 weeks — started at 3½ weeks; only slept while held or fed, and mom had to return to work in medicine at 6 weeks
“She has slept through every night for about three weeks — 7:30 PM to 6:45 AM. So much less anxiety at bedtime. I can go to sleep exhausted from work and know my baby will sleep through the night.”
Would you recommend it? “Absolutely. There's no way I could do my job if we hadn't joined Actually Sleeping.”
Angelina S. & Archer
Started at 9 Days · Archer · 12 weeks — started at just 9 days old to build healthy sleep habits from the start
“He started sleeping through the night at about 10 to 11 weeks. He's stayed consistent through vaccines and little hiccups, and he is a very happy baby.”
Would you recommend it? “Yes — it helped us get him on a schedule and sleeping so much better.”
Abby P. & Ella
Night 1 · Ella · 9 weeks (started at 7) — only slept on her parents, 3–4 hours at a time, parents splitting overnight shifts on the couch
“She slept through the night our very first night. It was truly one night and done. Now we put her down at 8 and my husband and I get to reconnect. Her first 12-hour stretch came less than a week in.”
Would you recommend it? “Yes yes yes! Any age, as early as possible. Nothing else guarantees my baby will be sleeping. Your baby needs to sleep safely and so do you.”
