Night 2Watch

Lauren F. & Cullen

Cullen · 8 months — exclusively breastfed, nursed and contact-slept, and had never slept longer than about four hours

Savanna N. & Rhett

Rhett · 9 months — waking every 1-2 hours all night; new parents who wanted to be held accountable

“He's slept through the night for 11 nights now. It's helped more than just him — as a family we have a lot more energy and play a lot more together. Everything just feels better.”

Kristin W. & Cameron

Cameron · 9 months — single mom in the middle of a move; he would only sleep on her chest and woke every time she put him down

“Now he's sleeping about 11 hours and his naps are great. If you are a single mom, you can do this — it's a lot easier than you think, and you're stronger than you think.”

Night 4Watch

Hilary W. & Dorothy

Dorothy · 9 months — born a preemie and reliant on sleep props from day one, waking every 45 minutes; another course had already failed

“Since night four, Dorothy has been sleeping through the night — 10 and a half hours every single night, which is unreal to us.”

Vanessa S. & Sadie

Sadie · 9 months — started at 7 months, waking 6-8 times a night while the entire household reached its breaking point

Night 4Watch

Taylor A. & Theo

Theo · 8 months when they started — waking at least 3 times a night after modified Ferber and ChatGPT fell short; mom slept on the recliner in his room

“By the fourth night he was sleeping through. I don't go to bed scared of when I'll be woken up or how many times — I finally have a little time for me.”

Jenny R. & Timmy

Timmy · 8 months — waking 1-2x, needed a bottle to sleep, only napped on her lap

“It took about a week and once he started, he rarely stopped. He sleeps through the night and naps in his crib — even slept through the night while traveling.”

Night 1Watch

Chelsea & Ryan W. — Sydney

Sydney · 9 months — waking 4x every night after she started crawling and wouldn't go back to sleep on her own, for five straight weeks

Lauren M. & Mikayla

Mikayla · 7 months — mom wondered if she'd ever sleep again; husband moving to night shift; tried Facebook groups, forums, ChatGPT

Lexy H. & Ivy

Ivy · 8 months — waking 3-4 times a night, nursed to sleep, ending up in her parents' bed at 4 AM, with short, inconsistent naps

“ChatGPT was too much information — overwhelming and often contradicting. I needed a custom plan. Four nights later, I feel like a new person. I don't dread bedtime anymore and I wake up feeling actually rested.”

Lily · 8 months — waking 4-5 times a night while her parents traded shifts and sometimes couldn't even sleep in the same bed

Kayla M. & Colter

Colter · 9 months — waking five times a night, another baby on the way, and mom worried the program might not work

Night 1Watch

Samantha M. & Olive

Olive · 9 months — rocked and fed to sleep, then transferred to the crib only to wake after 30-60 minutes, multiple times a night; the bedtime anxiety was straining the whole house

“Olive slept through the night within one day, and within three she was getting into the crib calmly and putting herself to bed. My mom, my husband, and all her grandparents can't believe this is the same baby from two weeks ago.”

Marleigh — waking 3x a night (12, 3, and 5) for six months; mom thought she needed the milk

Nights 1–2Watch

Tarannum H & Ahana

Ahana · 8months · I wanted help with sleep training my daughter

“Amazing! We know when her scheduled naps and bedtime is and we can make plans around it. We went on a vacation where it was changing multiple hotels and she slept through all night long for 14nights!! Difficulty environment, different cribs but the foundation was so strong that my baby slept through at her scheduled times. We just had to make sure she was in her crib by that time.”

Courtney A. & Walker

Walker · 8 months — waking 5–7 times a night for a pacifier, a bottle or extra attention; not their only child

“We didn't know that all the things we were doing were the reason he wasn't sleeping through the night. Two nights and he was sleeping through — and has been ever since, even through two infections.”
