Night 1Watch

Sage A. & Luca

Luca · 13 months — never slept through the night, co-slept, rocked and bottle-fed at night; second baby due in October

“We noticed results in the first night — he fell asleep on his own. Now we put him in the crib awake and he falls asleep within one minute, through the night until 7:30 AM. It's a night and day difference — we're all more rested with way more energy for our son during the day.”

Lindsey M. & Marco

Marco · 10 months — co-sleeping + nursing for 6 months, averaging 4 hours of sleep a night

“I was a walking zombie. I'd tried everything — Googled, other programs, even ChatGPT — nothing worked. By night 5, Marco was sleeping 12 hours straight, 8 PM to 8 AM.”

Night 1Watch

Amber C. & Theo

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.”

Night 2Watch

Lauren F. & Cullen

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

“Night one was a little rough, but on night two he slept through the night. It was miraculous — he had never even gotten close to that. It changed my life significantly.”

3–4 DaysWatch

Ashley K. & Autumn

Autumn · 13 months — rocked to sleep, waking 3-4 times a night for 30-45 minutes and needing a bottle; dad was recovering from shoulder surgery

“Within three to four days of starting, Autumn was sleeping through the night. I never thought it would happen. Now 95% of nights she sleeps 11 to 12 hours — she arches her back into her crib, rolls over, and falls asleep within three minutes.”

Couple NightsWatch

Taylor K. & Lily

Lily · 6 months — started at 3 months; mom was going back to work while Lily was still feeding overnight and barely napping

“Within a couple of days of joining, sure enough she was sleeping through the night. It's truly been night and day — getting back all the time we used to spend rocking her to sleep has been life-changing.”

3 NightsWatch

Andrea & Santiago D. — Georgia

Georgia · 6 months — bed-sharing and nursing every hour all night with contact naps only; mom didn't even have time to shower

Night 1Watch

Michelle N. & Abigail

Abigail · 4.5 months — nursed to sleep every time, struggling with both nights and naps

“Three weeks ago she didn't know how to go to sleep on her own. Tonight she went down in about a minute with no crying — and I'm enjoying some coconut sorbet with my newfound freedom in the evening.”

Night 1Watch

Kay P. & Kamora

Kamora · 14 months — breastfed to sleep and all through the night while dad paced the floor; a self-described "fights to the end" baby

“She went to sleep on her own and slept through the night on night one — and every night after that for 10 nights in a row, which was mind-blowing.”

Night 4Watch

Cassie G. & Asher

Asher · 11 months — nursed back to sleep almost every hour; 16 months without a full night's sleep and a marriage on the brink

“After night one he learned to put himself to sleep, and by night four he was sleeping 8-10 hours in his crib. I feel like myself again. My marriage is thriving, and my baby boy is happy and thriving too.”

Samantha R. & Salem

Salem · 10 months — fighting naps, rocked to sleep, waking 5-6x a night; tried books, ChatGPT, creams, sleep sacks

1 WeekWatch

Jenny R. & Timmy

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

6 DaysWatch

Maddie D. & Benjamin

Benjamin · 5 months — co-sleeping, nursing every hour, and mom working remotely while caring for him full time

Night 2Watch

Nikki T. & Bea

Bea · 5 months — breastfed and co-sleeping, waking multiple times; mom was returning to work and needed longer, independent naps

Night 1Watch

Bernice K., Zamier P. & Jamari

Jamari · 12 months — multiple night wakings, rocking and lying with him to sleep, plus breastfeeding through the night

Under a WeekWatch

Melissa H. & Leah

Leah · 5 months — co-sleeping, fighting naps, and rocked to sleep for every nap, bedtime, and night waking — sometimes 30-40 minutes at a time

“In less than a week she was sleeping through the night. She falls asleep on her own in her crib for every nap and bedtime — we even coasted through the 4-month regression. No more sleep stress!”

4 NightsWatch

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.”

2 NightsWatch

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.”

Night 1Watch

Shana H. & Jace

Jace · 7 months — co-sleeping and nursing most of the night, 4-5 AM wake-ups, contact naps, and surgery during the program

Night 1Watch

Allison & Josh — Cade

Cade · 13 months — exclusively breastfed, waking 5-6x a night for 15-20 min each for ~8 months

Michaela & Leo

Leo · 3 months — started at 2.5 months, reflux, had to be held upright, ~5 feeds a night, paying for night nurses

2 NightsWatch

Madeline & Luca

Luca · 4 months — naps and bedtime took up to an hour of rocking, wearing on her and her marriage

5 NightsWatch

Jessica & Adley

3 NightsWatch

Ariella & Leora

Leora · 18 months — needed rocking to enter her crib, woke multiple times, and eventually ended up in her parents' bed

“By night three, she was sleeping through and has been ever since. She never wakes in the middle of the night, loves her crib, points to it, and now takes naps without a struggle.”

4 NightsWatch

Brianna G. & Grayson

Grayson · 8 months — waking every 45 minutes to 2 hours and relying on feeding, rocking, a pacifier, or patting to get back to sleep

“By night four, he was sleeping through the night and has been a very consistent sleeper ever since. He wakes up happy every morning, and having someone on my side supporting me made all the difference.”
Read their review →
Night 2Watch

Laura Shih & Tommy

Tommy · 3 months · We were struggling to get our son to sleep and to stay asleep. We were spending hours each day rocking and patting him with limited success. We were both exhausted and the baby was too!

“1000% better. We are all sleeping again. My husband and I are much more well rested and the baby is also much less fussy when he's awake. We are truly enjoying being parents again and not dreading bedtime.”

Night 1Watch

Erika C. & Kameron

Kameron · 6 months — waking 5–6 times a night, would only go back down with a bottle

“We followed the program to a T. That night, he slept all night long, and every single night since. The guarantee is actually guaranteed. Our lives are completely different.”

2 NightsWatch

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.”

24 HoursWatch

Mitra C. & Caelum

Caelum · 12 months — waking every 30–60 minutes all night for months; co-sleeping, shushing, rocking and nursing to sleep had all failed

“Within 24 hours my son went from waking every 30 minutes to several-hour stretches. I was adamant I would never sleep train — my son humbled me. Now we have a predictable schedule and we're all sleeping.”
Read their review →
Night 1Watch

Margo & Gideon

Gideon · almost 2 — waking 4–6 times a night, nursed back to sleep every time

“Night one he slept twelve hours. The best money we have spent in the last two years. I have 8 hours of my day back — it even got my 16-year-old going to bed on her own.”
Read their review →
Night 1Watch

Taylor M. & Crew

Crew · 20 months — never a full night's sleep in 20 months, fell asleep on the bottle, screamed the second he touched the crib

“The first night was a little rough, but he slept about 10 hours — and 11 to 12 hours every night since, with a two-hour nap. He loves going to bed. He's a completely different baby.”
