In-bed Sleeper Data Record (2026) 


Welcome to the Pēpi-Pod® Programme's online database for monitoring infant in-bed sleeper services. 


Change for our Children values monitoring as a quality process. We ask those supplying Pēpi-Pod® in-bed sleepers in New Zealand to enter distribution and impact data here, to support effective implementation at local level. The hope is that we see a return to reducing infant death rates, from careful monitoring that keeps us on track.
