In their words: parents who shared this doubt
“And I thought he’d eventually just grow out of waking three to four times during the night.”
“We were waiting and waiting, and we were not getting any sleep and going crazy.”
“And our son has... He’s never slept through the night since he’s been born.”
“So by night three, she was sleeping through the night and she has been sleeping through ever since.”
“By the sixth night, he was sleeping consistently eleven hours every single night.”
“I only wish that we would have started sooner.”
Why parents hold out for it to pass
Parents hear the same line from all sides: it is a phase, a regression, a growth spurt, and your baby will outgrow it. Waiting can feel like the reasonable, gentle option.
The parents in this video waited as well, a few of them for a year or longer. The wake-ups did not fade with time for them. They changed once each family had a plan in place.
Why time alone usually does not solve it
Night waking is frequently connected to the way a child falls asleep. A child who relies on feeding, rocking or a parent in the bed at bedtime usually needs that same help again overnight, and in many families that pattern just carries on as the child grows. Dr. Sam writes a plan suited to your child’s age and habits, with bootcamp-style coaching before night one and daily 1:1 check-ins. Naps are coached until they are solid. It is neither cry it out nor wait it out. The outcome is guaranteed: “We guarantee that your baby will sleep 8–12 hours through the night within 14 days of consistent, correct implementation of your sleep plan.”
Before starting, the families here had tried waiting, asking friends and doing their own research. One had bought a bed large enough to share with their toddler, intending to move him out gradually. Another had a son who had not slept through a single night since birth. Actually Sleeping wrote each family a plan for the situation they were really in.

Common questions
Is this just a phase my baby will outgrow?
The parents in this video thought so too, a few of them for more than a year, and the waking never stopped by itself. When wake-ups have followed the same pattern for weeks, a plan is worth getting. Dr. Sam writes one around your child’s age and habits.
Have we waited too long?
No. Actually Sleeping coaches babies and toddlers from newborn on. The families in this video began after months or even years of night waking, and they describe children sleeping through within the first nights.
What happens if a regression comes later?
Families in the reviews describe sleep holding steady through regressions, illness and travel. The coaching before night one gets you ready for these, and naps and night wake-ups are coached until they are solid.
