Congratulations on purchasing your Goldilocks!
The ultimate baby sleep wear guide for both day time and night time sleeps, featuring in-room temperature prediction to suggest the best overnight sleep wear combination for the whole night.
Your Goldilocks will help you dress your baby for sleep time in the right clothes, not just for when you put them down but for the whole night, which will help your baby sleep more comfortably and sleep for longer.
Note: The dressing guide and temperature prediction is a guide only.
Please consider other factors such as illness, heating/cooling and whether your baby tends to run hot or cold in general.

Operating Modes
Goldilocks has two operating modes that can be identified by the on screen icon:
Keep in mind that Night Mode is designed to work without the use of a heater
- if you plan to turn your heater on overnight please factor that in when dressing baby for sleep
Check out this blog post on using your device with heating/cooling
The mode of operation will be shown on the screen with the icons above. For info on tuning these operating modes see the expert settings.

My Goldilocks is behaving strangely. What should I do to fix it?
Start by performing a Factory Reset. After this if you are still experiencing issues please reach out to us via the Contact Us page and we will endeavour to fix your issue quickly.
I am going to move my Goldilocks to another address. What do I do?
I this case the easiest way to move your Goldilocks is to perform a Factory Reset and start the setup process over, entering your new device location information.
I normally use the air conditioner/heating at night. Will that effect Goldilocks?
In short - Yes. Using your heating and cooling with Goldilocks will throw out your room's thermal profile and affect future room temperature predictions (night mode).
If possible use your heating/cooling up until about 15-30 minutes before bed time and then take the advice of Goldilocks. There may be some issues with the prediction accuracy so keep an eye on the room temperature, and remember that Sleep Like Goldilocks is a guide only - please use your judgement when dressing your baby for sleep.
