It's actually not that big of a deal. On paper it sounds horrible. The sleep plan is just a form where you write down stuff about when and where the baby will sleep and then the parents sign it. In the "when" section you can just write "on demand". There is a spot where they want us to mark if the infant rolls over on their own or not apparently so that if the baby is not rolling over yet the provider doesn't put the baby to sleep on it's tummy. The provider can't fib it since a parent signature is needed. This is just a one time form thing.

The record part is not much different than what some providers already do for infants here. It's just like a paper where you report how many oz of milk they drank and at what times, how many diapers you changed and when, what times they napped at when they woke up etc. A lot of people already do that here until they turn 1. The only difference will be whether licensing will require us to use a form they provide or whether they will just let us make and use our own. That is still yet to be seen.

This is the draft of the infant sleep plan if they decide to make us use their form.
