Four different breathing exercises to promote relaxation
Moonbuddies breathe at a calming pace: their tummy expands and contracts providing tactile stimuli to guide your child into science-based & effective calming breathing exercises. Invite your child to hold their buddy and breathe in sync with its tummy. This calming pace promotes immediate stress reduction and deep relaxation.

Different breathing exercises
A good slow breathing rhythm for kids aged 6 to 12 years old is around 8 to 10 breaths per minute. We set four different breathing rhythms on the device, typically a higher breathing rate is advised for younger children. Press the start button to switch between exercises:
- Green light: 8.5 breaths per minute (3.5 s inhale, 3.5 s exhale)
- Blue light: 9 breaths per minute with a pause and a longer exhalation (2.8 s inhale, 0.4 s pause, 3.5 s exhale)
- Red light: 10.5 breaths per minute (2.8 s inhale, 2.8 s exhale)
- Yellow light: 6 breaths per minute (5 s inhale, 5 s exhale)
The duration of an exercise is set at 4 minutes. After this, the moonbuddy shuts itself off automatically. -

Who are we?
We are the founders of moonbird. We are on a mission to enable people to use their breath as a tool to live healthy, happier lives. This includes children.
We want to make breathing exercises easy, fun and intuitive. After launching our hero product for adults, the moonbird, we received lots of feedback and requests from parents to develop a mini moonbird, specifically designed to the needs of children. That’s exactly what we did. Together with parents and children, we co-created our moonbuddies.
Moonbuddies are designed to be intuitive and non-distracting, allowing your child to focus on relaxation without being overwhelmed by technology.
Happy breathing!

-
What is a pre-order and when will my moonbuddy be delivered?
A pre-order is an order placed for a product or service that has not yet been released or made available to the public. Customers commit to purchasing the item in advance, before it is manufactured or stocked. We expect to ship the moonbuddies in December. Please note that the final product may have slight differences from the images shown during the pre-order phase.
-
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 device in your hands. Mimic the breathing rhythm of the device with your breathing: inhale when the device expands, exhale when it contracts.

Can it help my kid fall asleep?
