“This course was a total game-changer. We used it to transition our 5-month-old out of her Snoo and into her crib in her own room. We had two nights of a very sad baby but then after that, she was totally fine and actually loves being in her crib now. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants guidance and support on how to handle this tough transition.”
“My new mom anxiety improved during this course. Luckily our boy learned quickly and only cried the first night and has slept about 10-12 hours every night ever since!! Highly recommend this course & have told all my new mom friends about it as well.”
“Truly the only thing more life changing was having a baby in the first place. I waited until my son was 13 months to do this and had held off because of anxiety around letting him cry (what if he needs me? What if he only stops crying because he doesn’t believe in me anymore? Etc). Co-sleeping was working until it wasn’t, and none of us were getting good sleep, waking every few hours, every night. This was the best thing we could have ever done for us and for him too. It wasn’t nearly as difficult as I thought. Night 1 we didn’t even have a full half hour of crying and the night wake ups only required one pop-in, if any. We were complexly shocked to see him put himself to sleep on the monitor. Shocked! He improved from there and by about night 4 he made it through the night (some wake up/cries but put himself back to sleep before 5 min passed). I think one of the most helpful things about Cara is her reasoning and understanding that really speaks to the reasons why anyone has held off so far, and why it’s not as scary as you have built it up to be. If you’re on the fence, climb over.”
“When I tell you that this was life changing, I am not exaggerating. So as a first time mom to my son I was too afraid to do any sleep training because the thought of hearing him cry at all made me so sad. We nursed/rocked him to sleep because we thought that was best at the time, but fast forward to when he was weaned and 17 months- he would still wake up 2-3 times a night and would take so long to rock back to sleep… I mean we were literally up for hours every night. My husband and I reached a breaking point when I became pregnant with my second and knew this wasn’t feasible. So after hearing so many recommendations of this course, we tried it. Keep in mind my son was 17 months and in a Montessori floor bed, so I was skeptical it would still work but willing to try anything. Well it WORKED! Yes the first night is really hard, but after 2 nights my son was sleeping through the night and there were barely any tears after a few days. Now my son is happy and calm every time before we put him down for a nap and bedtime- no tears, no wake ups, he has been such a happier little baby with more sleep and my husband and I feel like different humans getting rest. For our next baby we will definitely be doing the abcs a lot sooner. Thank you Cara!”
“Unfortunately, I found this to be just another modern take on classic sleep training. I was hoping this course would include gentler options for someone who wants to learn about infant sleep and encourage good sleep hygiene - but without the reliance ‘cry it out’. It seemed like this was really targeted to parents that are feeling hopeless and need a solution that will work as soon as possible ke.
There were a couple ‘alternative’ ideas in this course but they still were really focused on how quickly and efficiently we can get a baby to sleep through the night. This isn’t for me.”

“Our nine month old was waking up consistently every two hours to eat at night and we would cave and bring him into our bed. After the ABCs of Sleep he started sleeping 12 hours a night in his crib by night nine! I was so worried about the transition and it was so easy and he did great! It was smooth and we are so happy to have our bed back with great sleep. Highly recommend this class for any parent struggling at night with their baby!”
