Nothing helpful or new, buyers remorse

There’s lots of other sleep apps out that that provide more personalized schedules. I wish there was an option to put how often baby feeds to work that into the schedule. The only schedule it gave me only works if your baby eats every 2 hours and mine eats every 3. It’s literally just a basic schedule and that’s why there’s no free trial, because you’d be able to get what you need w out the subscription. The app really is just a picture of the schedule, the store to buy her lamp, and settings.

No response on their chat

I paid for this so I that I would have access to the “live chat with an expert” feature. The chat says they typically respond in a day. It’s been four days with no response. Just cancelled my subscription and booked a call with with a professional sleep consultant instead.

No free version

Can even take a look at this app in a free version before I start subscription? I want to know what I’m paying for. Should be made clear before you enter all your information that there is no free version.

Waste of money

I’m not sure what I just paid 5.99 for, it gives very limited basic information that I already know or can find on Google….

Love the app

I was suggested to use this app and am very pleased with the results. It’s free and easy to use. I followed the recommendations and was able to see a good difference in my son’s sleeping habits. Highly recommend it.

Thank you Isha!

Science-based, simple, baby sleep help.

Read the book this app is based on and found it so helpful. App distills the book into easily referenced sleep tips.

Unusable without paid subscription

I think it should be made clear in the description that there is no free version or free features available on this app. I provided all of my information and was then taken to the subscription page which there is no way to navigate away from. Super frustrating that it wasn’t stated upfront that this app can only be used with a paid subscription.

Unrealistic

Maybe I’m judging it too fast but the schedule says only a 20 minute first nap and a 5 hour wake window for my 10 month old. There’s no way she could make it 5 hours. The recommendation for a red light is just a link to their very expensive version with no other options. A totally waste of $6

Thank you for taking the time to comment on the app. As a sleep scientist, my method is based on working with baby's natural sleep need and their circadian rhythm. By limiting daytime napping, nighttime sleep is naturally increased. Most 10 month olds can absolutely stay up for the indicated wake windows, but tweaking the natural patterning of the body clock typically takes 3-5 days to see changes with this method. So sleep is near! The Kulala Baby Sleep Lamp is a beautifully designed maple wood lamp that has been engineered with exactly the right nanometer wavelengths for optimal sleep. It is an investment, and we set out to design a lamp that looked as good as it worked. But at Kuala we believe everyone deserves great sleep and I give other light suggestions both in my book ‘How Babies Sleep’ by Sofia Axelrod (available on Amazon) and on the Kulala Nocturnal blog. We would love to get your 10 month old sleeping, and get you some much deserved rest too - please chat to us via the app anytime (our app has a personalised chat functionality) or email support@kulalaland.com.

Already seeing results on the first day.

Love it.

Bad sleep advice

Wow the sleep schedule this app gave me was a total crock. I would never wake my baby up after sleeping only 30 mins and I would also never keep my 7 month old awake for 5 hours before bedtime. If anybody used that advice their baby would never sleep and would always have short naps and would be sooo cranky at bedtime.

Dear Jess, thank you for your review and I'm so sorry Kulala wasn't working for you! Kulala provides science-based advice and its schedules are based on sleep patterns of tens of thousands of babies. If a baby cannot stay awake for that long yet, which is completely normal, Kulala recommends adding a short catnap. Research shows that too much napping negatively affects nighttime sleep, therefore waking babies up from naps is very important to ensure their sleep pressure is high enough at night. I hope this helps, and of course I'm here for any further questions! -Sofia Axelrod, PhD, Kulala Founder

So thankful for this app

The first night we started using this app, our 2 month old slept 5 hours straight at night and kept doing it since then! He’s now sleeping one 5-8 hour stretch and then making it to morning. What a difference! This is our third baby, and I wish I had this app for all of them! The guidelines are easy to follow and implement. It worked great for us!

Can’t get past subscription ad

Setting this app up and it won’t let me go past the subscription ad. There is a free/basic version yet it is not allowing one to bypass signing up for the paid version.

Helpful Guide

Our daughter has never been a great napper, but the tips here have certainly helped. While we can’t follow the schedule “exactly,” it does serve as a great “aspirational” model we can orient towards as much as possible. It’s nice that everything updates based on age, also!

So helpful

This app has been transformative! I feel so much more relaxed knowing when to put my baby down to sleep, thanks to the schedule generator. The tips are so helpful, especially with the lighting. The best part is the ability to chat with a sleep expert, which in my experience has been the app creator and author of the book How Babies Sleep — Dr. Sofia Axelrod. What an incredible value at $9.99/month!

Amazing

This method has been life changing for me!! Only knocking off one star because the notifications do not sync up with my baby’s schedule (which is a bit annoying but I’m sure it’s a bug fix that will happen at some point. Even so I’m still on the free trial version but will definitely be upgrading to paying monthly when it runs out!

Thank you so much for the vote of confidence, and for letting us know about this bug! We will get it fixed ASAP.

Mommy

Great for establishing schedules and learning about sleep aids. There is also a helpful chat with sleep expert which promotes you to questions and then supplies you a response based on FAQ, which do offer helpful advice and you can also get a live chat if question is not answered and/ or submit questions.

Very good app

This is the best app I have ever had all the other apps that had before they never worked. This app tells you and makes a schedule for your baby. It is very helpful to me and my son Grayson.

Thank you so much!

Wonderful!

Such a useful tool for getting baby on the right sleep schedule and knowing where to go for help. I also picked up a copy of the book, which offers meaningful insights and advice on how babies sleep. Thank you for this!
