He’s too young. He can’t start now, but he did so well.” > “Within two nights of us following Sam’s implementation plan, he slept eight hours straight.” [Video: Play video: Actually Sleeping client families: He’s too young to start](https://fast.wistia.net/embed/iframe/x315bbhiu4) __Watch > “When our second child was about eight or nine weeks old, and he was sleeping through the night after three nights of working with him.” > “And she was only ten, eleven weeks old when we started, and now she is three months today.” > “We started really early primarily because my husband works away from the home, two to five nights every week.” ## Why parents feel it is too soon Young babies seem delicate, and most of what parents hear about sleep training is aimed at older babies. It makes sense, then, to feel you ought to wait, even when nights are already difficult. The parents in this video felt exactly that. Several went ahead regardless, with babies just weeks or months old, and describe being surprised at how smoothly it went. ## How Actually Sleeping supports young babies With the youngest babies, the work begins with foundations rather than a crying-based method. Your custom plan decides how night feeds are handled, based on your baby’s age. Dr. Sam writes the plan to suit your baby’s age and feeding, with bootcamp-style coaching before the first night and 1:1 check-ins every day. The guarantee states: “We guarantee that your baby will sleep 8–12 hours through the night within 14 days of consistent, correct implementation of your sleep plan.” With young babies, the 14-day clock begins at the 10-week birthday. Some families begin early for practical reasons. One mom in the video explains they started very early because her husband works away from home two to five nights each week. Beginning early with Actually Sleeping means laying good foundations from the start, at a pace suited to your baby’s age. ## More from client families All 129 client video reviews are on the [reviews page](https://actuallysleeping.net/reviews/), among them [families who started with newborns](https://actuallysleeping.net/reviews/newborn-0-3-months/).
