⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"I'm an OT & have been trialling the moonbuddy with some clients who are really liking it & finding it helpful for calming & self regulating.
The tactile feedback from the tummy going in & out works so well for helping people slow their breathing & match to the moonbuddy.
It's really simple to use & select the different breathing rates. It makes a sort of a purring noise as it breathes in & out (which I imagine is from the little motor driving the movement).
Some of my clients have said that it's the bear snoring & they like to stay quiet while they are using it so they don't wake the bear. Great product & very effective."

Why Kids Need Something They Can Feel
When kids struggle to fall asleep or wake up unsettled during the night, Moonbuddy gives them a calming rhythm to hold, follow and breathe along with.
It helps them settle back to sleep more naturally, so the whole family can rest a little easier.
Customer Review:
“The kids reach for moonbuddy themselves when they need to calm down. My youngest, who often wakes scared at night, falls asleep quickly with it, and grabs it again if he wakes up. That’s saved my own night’s rest as much as theirs.”

Kid-friendly adjustments
"Children really resonated with the idea that when a small animal breathes and its belly expands, their bellies expand as well."
No app means screen-free relaxation
We deliberately kept technology in the background. There is no Bluetooth Low Energy and no Wi-Fi emitted. Moonbuddy is designed to be intuitive and non-distracting, so your child can focus on relaxation without being overwhelmed by screens.
4 Breathing Modes
Moonbuddy's tummy gently expands and contracts, giving children a simple rhythm they can feel in their hands.
Each session lasts 4 minutes and stops automatically. Typically, more breathing per min for younger children.
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.
Great for 3-year-old boy
"My son of 3 years old always had a hard time falling asleep. Since he uses his Moonbuddy its much easier and he doesnt need us parents as much anymore for coregulation."

Helps calm and soothe
"The Moonbuddy has been great for my daughter who uses it to calm down if upset or if something is bothering her. I can see her physically relax as she goes through a breath cycle, sometimes I think she’s even falling asleep!“
