## Full transcript of their video

Taken from the video's captions, recorded August 5, 2026. Lightly formatted into paragraphs; the words are as captioned.

This is my eighteen month old daughter Leora. She was never a consistent sleeper, but what actually made us go with actually sleeping was she was going through a period where she would not go down into her crib unless I was rocking her. She would wake up multiple times, she'd end up in my bed eventually, and we knew that wasn't sustainable in the long run. By night three, was sleeping through the night and she has been sleeping through ever since, and she's been in the program since about maybe a little over four weeks, four and a half weeks.

She never wakes up in the middle of the night, She absolutely loves her crib. She points to it. She wants to stay in there, so that's definitely a nice change. She takes naps now.

And Sam walked us through everything. She coached us always available for answers throughout the day and was our cheerleader and our supporter, and we just trusted the process, and eventually she slept through, and she's doing great. I would definitely recommend actually sleeping to any parent that is struggling with the sleep. Sam is great and just helps you get the baby to sleep.
