I wanted to share my review of actually sleeping. This is our ten month old. We started actually sleeping when he was about six months and we wanted to join the program because I had experienced several postpartums where I was struggling with mental health issues because of mostly in part due to lack of sleep and sleep is so essential to us feeling well and for me it really made the difference. He started sleeping pretty quickly after we started, and I have done two sleep programs for our daughter before him and neither one of those worked.

She was still not sleeping by herself. She would maybe fall asleep in her bed, but she would come in the middle of the night and wake us up and get into our bed. And so, they also did the actually sleeping program for her and it only took her three nights before she was sleeping in her own bed. And, I will tell you that I was very afraid to let my children cry at all because I was worried it would damage their brains, but the amount of crying in this program is very minimal and all of it is, I felt very safe because we're still responding to our baby.

And, anyway, I just really recommend the program because our whole family is finally sleeping. We went through black mold when I was at the end of my pregnancy with him and had to move out of our house. Now that we're healing from that, sleep is crucial to us feeling better. And so if you have health issues, sleep really is like one of those foundational things that, we shouldn't ignore that we should definitely make a priority.

So I'm really glad that we chose to join this program. It's made all the difference for everybody in my family. We're so glad we're all sleeping again.
