3 pillars of independent sleep

You found it – the surprisingly simple secret to better sleep

Master these 3 pillars of independent sleep and you'll do your kid the biggest favor of their life.

#1: Fall asleep independently

Rocking and shushing do work – until you stop

Nucu Pad adds natural white noise and vibration under the mattress that create a sense of security.

Choose from our audio library of natural and safe sounds. Or record your own heart beat with the Nucu App.

#2: Stay asleep on their own

Link sleep cycles for longer sleep

Babies stir every 40 minutes.

Nucu automatically senses the wiggle and re-soothes before a full wake-up.

Longer stretches, deeper sleep for everyone.

#3: Follow a consistent sleep schedule

Keep the routine consistent

Manual logs eventually fail.

Nucu app records every nap and night for you.

Clear patterns appear, routines stay on time, and baby settles faster.

Guided by purpose, backed by science

Created with the world's leading baby care experts.

What families are saying

Avoid these common missteps

Playing white noise 24/7

White noise throughout the night is not ideal. With the Nucu Pad, it only plays when it's needed.

Getting stuck as the human mattress

Cuddles are sweet, but everyone sleeps deeper when baby dozes in their own bed. No guilt required.

Trying to remember nap times

Life is hectic enough – stop guessing when the last nap happened. Let Nucu log it automatically.

Waking the baby at the wrong time

If moving baby is needed, active sleep is usually the gentlest window. Nucu’s live sleep-stage view helps you spot those moments.

Simple. Efficient. Nucu.

Designed for the mindful modern parent, Nucu Pad comes with features that evolve with your baby.
