The Kulala Baby Sleep Lamp comes pre-assembled. Just unpack, plug in, and touch either side panel to turn on.
Tip #1: Prepare the room
Start your sleeping routine in a dark room with Kulala as your only light source.
Your baby can sleep with the lamp on low or off, whichever is more comfortable. Touch two fingers on the side panel to activate 3 levels of brightness.
Tip #2: Choose a consistent bedtime
Use the chart above or the Kulala app to figure out your child’s optimal bedtime. Keep daily bedtime as constant as possible.
The lamp works best if used at the same exact time every night when starting baby's bedtime routine- 30 mins to 60mins before bedtime. The lamp can be turned off when the baby is sleeping. Repeat for at least 7 days to entrain the baby's circadian rhythm.
Tip #3: Limit light exposure from other sources
Reduce white light exposure in your home, which will keep your baby awake. Dim or turn off TV and screens, and turn on Night Shift/Night Mode on your mobile devices to filter out blue light.
Use your Kulala lamp during night wakings. Do not expose your baby to other night lights during desired sleeping hours. Use Kulala on low for nursing or feeding, medium for soothing, and high for diaper changes.
Use blackout shades to stop sunlight from waking your baby. Keep them drawn until your desired wake time. If your baby wakes too early in the morning, use your Kulala lamp instead of opening your blinds. This will keep your baby aligned with your schedule, not the sun's.
Tip #4: Use the whole sleep system
For more in depth information, the book How Babies Sleep by Dr. Sofia Axelrod (Kulala founder and Sleep Scientist) has science-based answers to any baby sleep question. The Lamp, app, and book work together as a unique sleep system.
