We can now lay her down in the crib for naps without batting an eye, and this allows us to take care of things around the house we couldn't before. She goes down at night with ease and has been consistently sleeping through the night, letting us get uninterrupted sleep for ourselves as well.”[Read their review →](https://actuallysleepingreviews.com/families/rick-c-and-stella/) [Video: Play video: Mitra C. & Caelum](https://fast.wistia.net/embed/iframe/9hxbdrkwuy)24 HoursWatch ### [Mitra C. & Caelum](https://actuallysleepingreviews.com/families/mitra-c-and-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.
