Bringing back Peace Of Mind to parents by helping their babies enjoy, relax and sleep better
As new parents, we experience first-hand the helplessness when our little one did not want to sleep during their nap times, staying awake for nights on end singing songs, hymns and lullabies to them. We had searched Google hundreds of times, installed and used every single app in Play Store that promised to make our baby sleep, but none of them worked.
With every passing day, we learnt new tricks and techniques to help our little one relax and sleep better. As we started perfecting those techniques, we decided to build an easy-to-use free app so we can make these learnings available for future parents. That is how the Somnos-Baby Sleep app was built. Every time we learnt a new trick to get our little one to sleep, we kept thinking of how we could implement the same in a mobile phone app. We experimented with a lot of design prototypes for the app; each one that worked, we passed them onto our friends who would also use it and give us more feedback. As our little one celebrated her first birthday, The Somnos-Baby Sleep app was launched publicly in 7 different languages and completely free to use.

The Somnos-Baby Sleep app provides a large library of sounds of different types like white noise, pink noise, brown noise, lullabies, nature and animal sounds, ambient sounds. Each sound in the library was carefully curated to create the perfect effect for babies to sleep, while not having any side effects for parents like headaches if they played for long hours. We use high definition audio storage in the library with superior audio compression to create the perfect playback ambience for your little one to sleep well.
A common stress factor for parents is when the little one does not sleep well at night, and we often sing songs, lullabies and hymns to them for hours until they fall asleep. After a long day, this can be extremely exhausting, and as a result, we lose out on those precious few hours of sleep ourselves.
The Somnos-Baby Sleep app has a high definition Sounds Recorder where you can record your favourite lullabies, songs and hymns in High Definition in your own voice. The next time your little one does not sleep, you can play back the recorded songs through the app. The audio recording is done with adequate background noise suppression and channel tuning to make it sound almost as if you yourself are singing to your baby. This creates an environment where babies feel almost as if their own parents are singing to them, thus making them feel secure and comforted to relax and take them back to sleep again. In turn, you get to catch up on those precious hours of sleep.
The app provides a mix-and-match Sounds Player, that enables you to mix together any number of sounds with individual adjustments, to create the perfect playback ambience. While most other apps play sounds one after the other, we found that for our little one to sleep, a single sound might not always create the perfect environment for her. Therefore, we designed the mix-and-match Sounds Player in the app, so parents can play multiple sounds in parallel, while being able to adjust volume levels for individual sounds at any time, to create the right effect for your little one to sleep in.
We hope the app is useful for you to get your little one to relax and sleep faster and longer !
We are always looking for feedback, your thoughts and comments on how to improve the app experience and make it more useful to new parents. Please do feel free to write to us with your thoughts, queries, suggestions, comments on the app.
