I was skeptical this would help our 22 mo old with falling asleep without the boob. But it has! It took our son a little time to take to it, so I layered listening to a story while I still nursed to sleep for about a month and then we cut out the momma milk (with the help of “Booby Moon” too). Now our son knows when we’re done reading our books in the rocker that we pick a story and he falls asleep on me within 5-10 min - sometimes faster! This is huge as he had been nursed to sleep for every nap/bedtime since born. He loves the bubble story and is currently obsessed with the Santa Sleigh ride. I’ve used this in the car too when needing him to nap on the way home. At night Cynthia’s voice makes me doze off too, she’s too good. lol

UPDATE: still LOVE this app

I am naturally a skeptical person but decided to give the app a try because why not???
My son LOVES it. He asks for the robot story with his name in it alllll the time (great feature) and we listened to a story before nap today and he passed out before the music even ended. I’m shocked. The app is so calming it works like a charm and calms him enough that he’s not pawing at my phone trying to grab it the entire time (this was a worry I had- but it’s unfounded).
It also helps me at bedtime. Sometimes I lay there waiting for him to fall asleep and get so worked up ready to “clock out” and this helps me unwind too!

We still love this app months later. Our son has loved all the holiday stories and they feel like a warm hug ❤️

Engaging, soothing and emotional education 🙌

We love this app. My son is 3 and he asks for the stories at nap time, bedtime, when he wakes in the night/is sick. His favourites are the stories you can personalise with their name- his is unusual and he’s never heard it anywhere before!

As a mental health professional teaching emotional regulation skills, normalising emotions and feelings and encouraging tools to manage those is SO important to me and the app does this in a wonderfully engaging and fun way. It’s such a lovely way to fall asleep or encourage calm or quiet, regulation or soothing. It’s a daily staple for us and will be for a long while!

Best child sleep app out there!

We love using the Goldminds app to help both our daughters (ages 3+4) to sleep at night. It’s so soothing and really helps transition from crazy silliness to calm at night! Our favourite stories are the the dancing unicorn and doggies new tricks!

Amazing

I love using this app for my littles ones nap times. We use it every day now, he’s prone to getting overtired and these stories calm him so much (and me) I also love the calming music. Loving this app

A bedtime ESSENTIAL

Goldminds is magic! My daughter has always needed a lot of support to sleep. Our previous approach was no longer working for our family, so we thought we’d give this app a try. I am AMAZED that when we play her a story, she will lay down and fall asleep within 10 minutes. This is my velcro baby who always needed to be nursed or rocked to sleep. Now, at almost 2, she’s falling asleep in her crib with little to no complaint. Not something I ever thought would happen!

Just what we needed to make bedtime peaceful!

Love it! Honestly we love GoldMinds so much. You created such a beautiful, important app and we use it every night. Our daughter falls asleep so peacefully now. The stories are all great and I love that it includes mindfulness techniques. Thank you thank you!

Magic

We have been using this with my 4 year old as she has started school and dropped her nap. Every night we turn on a sleep story and she falls asleep in my arms. It’s been the best transition for us. Highly recommend!

Recommend!

This is such a calming app even as an adult you can feel your heart rate slowing and your brain wanting to be present and listen to slow you down and get you to a sleep state! It provides the right level of calming down whilst also engaging my active 2 year old (who is hard to slow down for sleep!) :)

We listen to this app with a light projector on for soft lighting and visual stimulation (we’ve got a hugely sensory sensitive kiddo!)

6 year old won’t go to sleep without it

I co-sleep with my 2 and 6 year old and currently 35 weeks pregnant, so by the end of the day this mom is ready for an easy bedtime! Latley my 6 year old has developed some night time fears and thoughts of having bad dreams. Listening to a story has helped ease her anxiety and fall asleep. It helps with my mental stress as well because I can lay in silence with her until she falls asleep instead of getting frustrated every time she imagines a scary thing and having to use the last of my energy to ease her fears. 10/10 recommend!
