And I think I was just at my wit’s end.” > “Every time he’d wake up, like three times a night, he’d come running in our room to get us.” [Video: Play video: Actually Sleeping client families: We’ll wake the whole house](https://fast.wistia.net/embed/iframe/6jpdegj4k2) __Watch > “She was in my bed. She was on a bottle and she was on a binky and my fiance was sleeping on the couch.” > “And he cries for maybe two, three minutes, and then he’s just sleeping.” > “I’m getting the sleep. She’s getting the sleep. My other toddler’s getting sleep again, and my husband’s getting sleep.” > “We’re all happier now. Everybody’s sleeping through the night.” ## Why parents worry about waking everyone up In a busy home, a crying baby’s sound travels well beyond one room. Parents picture a toddler jolted awake at midnight, a partner with work in the morning, and older kids facing school the next day. Some keep their baby in their own bed just to keep the house quiet. The parents in this video were juggling every bit of that. What they describe is a brief stretch of protest, then a home where everybody sleeps. ## Planning for a busy household Dr. Sam builds the plan around your home: who shares a bedroom, where the baby sleeps today, when the older kids go down and who has to be up early. Bootcamp-style coaching before night one walks you through handling those first nights in a shared or busy house. Daily 1:1 check-ins come after, and we coach naps until they are solid. It isn’t cry it out, and it isn’t wait it out. One mom in this video was raising four boys mostly by herself. Another talks about a baby in her bed with a bottle and a pacifier while her fiancé slept on the couch. A third had a child who came running into their room three times every night. Actually Sleeping wrote a different plan for each of those homes. ## More from our client families All 129 client video reviews are on the [reviews page](https://actuallysleeping.net/reviews/), including [parents of twins and triplets](https://actuallysleeping.net/reviews/twins-and-triplets/).
