Taken from the video's captions, recorded July 2, 2026. Lightly formatted into paragraphs; the words are as captioned.

Hi. These are my two sons. Before actually sleeping, we were not actually sleeping. Ari was taking at least twenty minutes, and he needed mommy and daddy to sit in the chair with him.

And then he was waking up multiple times a night, at least two to three times. And my husband was getting up for the wakings, I was dealing with the baby, and it was just chaos and we were just exhausted. But I found Samantha, she popped up on my feed. She just sounded so confident that she could get our baby to sleep.

And I believed her. I believed what she said and I watched the free training and the things that she said were just so simple and easy to follow and that she was going to be with us every step of the way and she really has been with us every step of the way. Ari went from not sleeping the whole night and waking up at five forty in the morning to actually to actually really just going to bed at eight o'clock, saying goodnight, and going to sleep the entire night. No night wakings within night two, which was crazy.

For nap times, he literally just goes down. He's he tells us when he's tired, which is absolutely wild to me. Ari, you wanna say something? Do you have Patties anymore?

No. No more pacies because Because why? Yeah. Because why?

I'm a big now. I'm a big boy now. So thank you, Sam, to her team and Kelsey and everyone involved for getting us actually sleeping.
