Hello. Hey, everybody. I'm Emily. I'm Dale, and our daughter Lily is not in the picture because she is asleep in her crib.

Because she's actually sleeping. Pretty amazing. Our life is night and day different. We we were not sleeping.

We were up four or five times a night trying to comfort her, trying to get her to fall back asleep. She would fall back asleep, but then she'd be up again the next what next wake cycle, and we just didn't have our lives. We were shells of human beings. Yes.

I think what I remember the most is it was just a helpless feeling. Like, I didn't know what to do. We were trying to take shifts. Like, I would take the first wake, and then he would take a wake or vice versa, and we would just keep trading off all night long.

Or it would be like, okay, Dale, you take the first half of the night, and then I'll take the second half of the night. So there'd be nights where, like, we wouldn't even sleep in the same bed because we would just be in her room. And and honestly, the reason that we decided to do sleep training is because we were just at our wit's end. We didn't know what else to do.

And by night three, she was sleeping through the night. She and she has ever since with only minimal wake ups, and we feel equipped. We know what to do. We know how to help her, and most of all, we have a happy baby again.

She is happier, she's more enjoyable to be with, and we are happier to be around during the day. So I would highly recommend. Yes. We've already recommended actually sleeping to our friends.

We recommend it for you. Sam is phenomenal. Trust us, we try ChatGPT. ChatGPT doesn't work.

ChatGPT can't tell you what to do with your specific unique baby. No. Because every single baby is truly unique. And so Sam gives you the principles, then when she's there, she's there when you're like, Help!

What do I do? If you're questioning or wondering if it's worth it, let this be your invite and let this be your reason. It's absolutely worth it. Just say yes.

Yes.
