A little light for the long nights.
Lamplight Baby Sleep is a small, independent company in Bloomington, Illinois, built by a parent who wanted the honest version.
From the founder
I started Lamplight after our own long nights. Every article I found contradicted the last one, every app had a different “target”, and none of them told me what the research actually said — or admitted how much nobody knows.
I have spent my career in healthcare operations, where the whole job is asking “show me the evidence” and then building something people can actually use. So that is what I did here. We compiled a library of several hundred published sources on infant sleep and safe sleep, checked the citations, logged the corrections, and wrote down where the evidence is strong, where it is thin, and where the popular advice has no evidence at all. Every plan and every coach conversation is built on that library and on a set of rules we will not bend.
Lamplight is the plan I wish someone had handed us: honest about the normal range, careful about safety, kind about the choices families make at 3am, and clear about when it is time to call the pediatrician instead of us.
— Steve Hart, founder
Five things that shape everything we do.
Evidence over opinion
Where a claim has a study behind it, we say which one. Where it doesn’t — wake-window minutes, the “four-month regression”, most branded methods — we say that too.
Safety is not negotiable
The American Academy of Pediatrics safe-sleep recommendations are built into every plan and every coach reply, and we will never soften them for convenience.
No shame
Feeding to sleep, rocking, contact naps, bringing the baby into bed at 4am — these are things loving parents do. We meet families where they are.
Your sleep matters
Protecting one solid block of sleep for a parent is often the fastest, best-supported change available. It is in every plan.
Know the limits
We are not medical providers, and we act like it. When something needs a doctor we say so, say how soon, and tell you what to ask.
Say “we don’t know”
The honest answer is sometimes that nobody has studied it. We would rather tell you that than invent a rule.
Homemaking and comfort — not medicine.
Lamplight provides parenting education: routines, sleep environment, comfort techniques, expectation-setting and support for tired families. That is a real and useful thing, and it is the whole of what we do. We do not diagnose, treat, prescribe or interpret symptoms, and nothing on this site or in a plan or coach conversation is medical advice. Your pediatrician’s guidance always comes first.
