What's happening to Smart Sleep Coach
Smart Sleep Coach by Pampers combined baby tracking, a schedule that suggested when to put your baby down next, and a personalized sleep plan with a gentle "No Cry It Out" approach. It had 4.7 stars from about 6,000 ratings on the US App Store. Pampers is closing it: the app works until 11:59 PM EST on November 30, 2026, auto-renewals have been stopped, and annual subscribers with time left get a pro-rated refund automatically.
Before November 30: save what you need
- Open the Progress screen and go to the Patterns view.
- Download your weekly and monthly data.
- Take screenshots of your baby's current schedule and sleep plan, so you know the wake windows and bedtime that were working.
What to look for in a replacement
- Nap timing: Does it suggest the next sleep from wake windows, and does it adjust to your baby's own logs?
- Coaching: Is there a structured sleep plan, from what age, and which approaches does it offer?
- Sharing: Can your partner log in the same place without paying?
- Price: What's free, what the trial covers, and what you pay after it.

Frequently asked questions
When does Smart Sleep Coach by Pampers shut down?
Pampers says the app stays available until 11:59 PM EST on November 30, 2026, and can no longer be accessed from December 1, 2026. It is no longer available to download.
Will I be charged after the app closes?
According to Pampers' closing notice, auto-renewals have been stopped, no charges apply after the app closes, and annual subscribers with time left past November 30, 2026 receive a pro-rated refund automatically. Processing time may vary. Contact Smart Sleep Coach support with billing questions.
How do I save my Smart Sleep Coach data?
Pampers says you can download weekly and monthly data from the Progress screen, in the Patterns view. It's also worth taking screenshots of your baby's schedule and sleep plan before November 30, 2026.
Can I move my data to Whispie?
No. Whispie can't import Smart Sleep Coach data. You start a new log, and most parents find a few days of tracking are enough for the app to show the next sleep time based on their baby's own patterns.
What's the closest replacement for Smart Sleep Coach?
It depends on what you used most. If it was the nap timing and tracking, look for an app that suggests the next sleep from wake windows, such as Whispie, Napper or Huckleberry. If it was the coaching, look for an app or program with a structured sleep plan. We make Whispie, so compare the current listings before you decide.
