What does Lovebug cost, and what do you get?

Lovebug has a free version and three paid programs.

Free Version

The free version of Lovebug is a robust activity tracker with reporting. You get tracking for:

  • Health - Nothing is great about a sick baby. Lovebug's robust health tracker includes medicines, symptoms, diagnosis, temperature, immunizations, and weight, height, and head circumference growth charts. 
  • Diapers - Track whether diapers are poopy, pee, or mixed. Get reports on the last poopy diaper, the number of each kind of diaper, and the number of diapers per day. Diapers are a common way for doctors to understand how satiated your baby is, and they will often ask you how many diapers you see per day. 
  • Feedings - Track whether your baby is breastfed, bottle-fed with breastmilk or formula, using supplements, solids, or water. Get reports on each day's feeding amounts and compare that to diapers. 
  • Sleep - Track whether your baby is calm, fussing, crying, or asleep during sleep times. Unlike other trackers, you don't have to start and stop sleep sessions while your baby is in the crib. More options are helpful while you are going through sleep training and want to track the number of minutes your baby is crying vs. calm. 

Schedule Plan

The schedule plan is the base Lovebug plan. In addition to the tracking, you also get Feed Windows and Wake Windows and the related notifications. 

Babies go through monthly sleep changes, so Lovebug updates your sleep schedule to match your child as they grow. Included in this plan, you also get Lovebug's sleep training foundational video lessons to learn the best ways to get your baby to sleep based on your family's choices. Your video lessons change based on your child's age with a newborn series, a four-month regression series, a 3 to 2 nap transition series, and a 2 to 1 nap series. 

Essentials Plan

The Essentials plan provides access to our complete lesson library and in-the-moment sleep lessons. The Essentials Plan is an excellent plan for you to help your baby sleep more soundly or fall asleep faster, but you don't want an in-person guide.

What you get:

  • In-the-moment lessons - You will get in-the-moment lessons based on what you log. For example, if your baby takes a long time to fall asleep, has a disjointed sleep, or wakes early in the morning, you will get an in-the-moment lesson.
  • Daily lesson - Once you submit your day, you will get a final analysis of the day and a daily lesson on how to get better sleep the next day. 
  • Lesson Library - When you have a question about your child's sleep, you can browse our video lesson library for answers or ask your question in our search bar. 
  • Age-based lessons - For every baby leap, we have answers on what's happening, how feeding changes, and how to adjust your sleep plan so your child stays healthy and happy. 

All-Access Plan

The all-access plan comes with live calls with our sleep consultants. You can have them put together a custom plan for you, ask them questions or use this time to get the entire family on the same page.

  • Exclusive access to live events! Help is always accessible when you want it and you can get access to our panel of experts.

Which Lovebug plan should you start with?

Ask yourself three questions:

  • How old is your baby?
  • Is your baby sleeping in a way you have a problem with? (And forget what everyone else says - this is about YOU!)
  • Do you prefer self-service or live help?

If your baby is <3 Months or a good sleeper, go with Schedule. 

Most families should start with the schedule plan, especially if your baby is 0-3 months or a good sleeper. We recommend you continue this plan until you are sleep training or have a sleep problem. 

If you have a problem, choose your plan based on whether you want live help or self-service.

If you want self-service, go with our essentials plan. If you want to talk to someone, go with our all-access plan.

Did you know? We are FSA and HSA eligible!

For those of you who don’t know, Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is a health plan that you can use to pay for copayments, deductibles, medical expenses, and more.

As the sleep training industry is relatively new, there are a few ways how you can be eligible for FSA. The expenses of sleep training may be covered under medical care for a newborn or under health institute fees. The health institute fee category includes the costs of health-related courses, workshops, retreats, and more.

To have your sleep training costs approved for FSA, you need to:
- Get in touch with your FSA administrator before hiring a sleep trainer.
- Your FSA administrator will inform you of what paperwork will be required.
- You may need to issue a letter of medical necessity (LSN) that you can get from your pediatrician.
- Call your pediatrician and ask how you can get the letter. I’m sure they will be happy to - help.
- You may be required to prepay for sleep consulting and send your receipt to FSA.
