Lumi Steps: Sensory & Sounds

Lumi Steps is a calm little app for your baby's first 18 months. Patterns to look at together, sounds to settle them, things to do together at each age, and a place to keep track of their milestones. You buy it once. No ads, no subscription. WHAT'S INSIDE Visual patterns, on paper or on screen. CDC and WHO do not recommend screen time under 2, and the NHS says to avoid it except for shared activities, so Visuals is optional and the app says so. Print the cards included in the app for a screen-free version. If you do use the screen, it runs a short timed session to share together: black and white to begin with, red and green from around two months, then the full range of colour. It tells you how far to hold the screen and when to stop. Sounds. White noise, pink noise, rain, ocean waves, birdsong, a soft heartbeat, a steady shush and a handful of lullabies. They are all made on your phone rather than streamed, so nothing buffers and they work on a plane. Daily activities. Each age range (0 to 3, 3 to 6, 6 to 12 and 12 to 18 months) has its own set. Tummy time, face tracking, mirror play, peek-a-boo, object permanence and more, each with simple steps, a short note on why it helps, and the AAP, CDC, WHO, NHS or study it draws on. Milestones. Every CDC milestone from 2 to 18 months, grouped by age across movement, language, thinking and social skills. Tick one off and the date is saved. It all stays on your phone, nothing is uploaded. Calm. Twelve routines for the fussy moments: a 4-2-4 breathing guide for you, swaddling, gentle rocking, skin-to-skin, baby massage, a bedtime wind-down and more. Each one shows the steps, where the advice comes from, and the signs it is time to stop. A tip a day. Thirty tips for your baby's age, and a quick calm suggestion that fits the time of day. WHY PARENTS LIKE IT • One price. No subscription, no ads, no free trial that quietly turns into a monthly charge. • Family Sharing. One purchase covers up to six family members, on iPhone, iPad and Apple Silicon Mac. • Works offline. Everything is built into the app, so it works in the park, on a plane, or anywhere the signal drops. • Private. No advertising, no trackers, no ad SDKs. Your baby's information never leaves your device. • Sources you can check. Every activity and routine shows where the advice comes from: the AAP, the CDC, the WHO, the NHS and published research on how babies develop. Made for parents, to make those first 18 months feel a little calmer.
