Moonbuddy auto-stops after 4 minutes of exercises
Breathing exercises.
A good slow breathing rhythm for kids can vary depending upon age. Typically a higher breathing rate is advised for younger children.
Four calming breathing exercises are available:
Mode 1: 6 breaths per/min.
Mode 2: 8.5 breaths per/min.
Mode 3: 9 breaths per/min (box breathing).
Mode 4: 10.5 breaths per/min.
The duration of each exercise is set at 4 minutes. After this, the moonbuddy shuts itself off automatically.
The science behind slow breathing
Science is at the heart of what moonbird is about. The moonbuddy method is based on balancing the autonomic nervous system through slow breathing and biofeedback. Read all about it in our white paper

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the moonbuddy work?
Moonbuddies are handheld breathing devices, just like the moonbird device. They provide tactile guidance to guide the user in doing slow breathing exercises. Hold the moonbuddy in your hand and feel the expansion and contraction of the moonbuddy in your hands. Mimic the breathing rhythm of the moonbuddy with your own breathing: inhale when the device expands, exhale when it contracts.
Can it help my child fall asleep?
Internal and external scientific research has shown great results of the positive impact of slow breathing exercises have on improving sleep quality and other sleep parameters in adults. Additionally, there are many testimonials of parents saying it helped them as well as their children fall asleep faster and have a better night's sleep overall.
Does my child need an app to use moonbuddy?
No. There is no app for moonbuddy. It is specifically designed for use without a screen, for screen free breathing exercises.
