Medical disclaimer

The Baby Sleep Planner and everything on this website, including the method quiz, are for educational purposes only. They are not medical advice and do not replace care from your pediatrician or another qualified health professional. Lullmap is not a medical provider.

Always follow your baby's doctor's guidance about your baby's health, feeding and sleep. If anything in the planner or on this site conflicts with what your baby's doctor tells you, follow your doctor.

Talk to your pediatrician before sleep training if your baby

• Was born premature (use adjusted age, and ask for guidance on timing)
• Has reflux, feeding difficulties, or any concern about weight gain
• Has a medical condition, breathing issues, or loud snoring with pauses
• Is sick right now, or is just getting over an illness
• May still need night feeds and you're not sure how many

Get medical help right away if your baby

• Has trouble breathing, pauses in breathing, or a blue or gray color around the lips
• Is under 3 months old with a temperature of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher
• Is unusually hard to wake, floppy, or refusing to feed

In an emergency, call 911. Poison Control: 1-800-222-1222.

Safe sleep

The planner's safe sleep guidance is aligned with the American Academy of Pediatrics 2022 recommendations. Sleep training never pauses safe sleep: alone, on their back, in a crib, bassinet or play yard with a fitted sheet only.

No guarantees about sleep

Every baby is different. Timelines in the planner are typical, not guaranteed, and illness, teething or travel can change them.
