California Code § 101419.2(b)(2): Infant Sleeping Plan
What Is California Code § 101419.2(b)(2): Infant Sleeping Plan?
California Code § 101419.2(b)(2)
Infants up to 12 months of age shall have a completed Individual Infant Sleeping Plan [LIC 9227 (3/20)], which is incorporated by reference.
💬What Providers Tell Us
Based on community experience — not official guidance
Every infant under 12 months needs a completed LIC 9227 Individual Infant Sleeping Plan on file before their first nap in your care. Inspectors pull infant enrollment files and cross-check them against the sleeping plan binder. The form they're looking for is specifically the LIC 9227 revised 3/20. If you're using an older version or a homemade substitute, that gets documented as noncompliant. Fill it out with the parent during enrollment, not after. Inspectors in Los Angeles, Orange, Sacramento, and Santa Clara counties all cited facilities for this in the past 90 days. Keep completed forms in one binder near the infant sleep area so staff can reference them quickly during nap transitions.

✓ Common Practices
❌ Common Mistakes
- Using a generic sleep policy instead of the specific LIC 9227 form. Providers create their own infant sleep questionnaires and assume they satisfy the requirement. Inspectors look for the exact state form number and revision date. Your custom form doesn't count.
- Completing the form but not updating it as the infant grows. A plan filled out at 3 months old may not reflect changes by 9 months. Inspectors check whether the information matches the child's current age and developmental stage.
- Having the form on file but not following what it says. If the sleeping plan notes that a particular infant uses a sleep sack, inspectors will check whether that infant actually has one in the crib. The plan and practice must match.
- Forgetting to get a new LIC 9227 when an infant transfers from another room or re-enrolls after a break. Providers assume the original form carries over, but inspectors treat gaps in enrollment as requiring a fresh plan.
