Baby sleep · from birth to age 3 and beyond

Get your sleep back, get your life back.

Know when it's time to sleep and what to do when the night goes sideways, now and as your baby grows. Somsio builds your baby's day and adjusts it every morning based on how the night went. Luna, Somsio's coach, answers any time with that plan in front of her.

Who it's for

From the first night home until they sleep on their own, and beyond.

Every stage comes with its own questions. The app only shows you what matters for your baby's age today, and everything stays in one account, with one history from day one.

Newborn · 0 to 3 months

The first months, no schedules

At this age there's no schedule to keep, and Somsio won't invent one. It tells you what's normal this week and what's coming next. You log feeds, diapers and sleep with one tap, and Luna helps you make sense of the evening fussing or a night that just won't end. Safe sleep info is always a tap away.

3 to 6 months

Finding a rhythm

Between 6 and 12 weeks, your baby starts to tell day from night. Somsio shows you how to help: light and activity during the day, calm at night, and a short routine before sleep. From 4 months on, the daily schedule shows up, with suggested naps that shift with your baby's sleepy cues. No methods yet. It's too early.

At 6 months, Somsio looks back at the last two weeks and tells you whether your baby needs a plan or is doing just fine.

6 months to 3 years

A plan to help them fall asleep on their own

If your baby still wakes up several times a night at this age, or only falls asleep in your arms, Somsio suggests a plan that runs for several weeks. You pick how you want to be there for them (there are five approaches, with more or less crying), and every night you know exactly what to do. Log how it went in two taps and the next day adjusts.

3 years and up

Luna sticks around

By 3, the clock stops running the show. What matters now is the routine, the nap that's on its way out, the fears, and the kid who calls you back ten times after lights out. There's no daily schedule anymore, but Luna, the log and the history stay with you. No punishments, no pills.

What nobody told you

Someone should've told you this before you left the hospital.

That every baby wakes up between one sleep cycle and the next. The “good sleepers” are the ones who fall back asleep on their own.

That a newborn can't tell day from night until 6 to 8 weeks, and that's nobody's fault.

That “sleeping through the night” at 6 months means a stretch of five or six hours, not twelve.

That there are five ways to teach a baby to fall asleep, with different amounts of crying, and no single right one.

That a lot of the advice you get at 4 a.m. comes from someone who didn't sleep either.

How it works

Three steps. The last one repeats every morning.

1

Tell Luna how your baby sleeps

Their age, how they fall asleep now, how many times they wake up, when their day starts. From there, Somsio builds the whole day: naps, bedtime and, once they're old enough, a method.

See the day ahead

Open the app and there it is: the next nap and how long until it starts, with Luna right below and the log button at the bottom. Designed to use one-handed at 3 a.m.

Tell Luna about the night

Two taps in the morning: how the night went, how many wake-ups, how your baby fell asleep. Today's plan adjusts to that, not to some average baby.

Luna

Every answer starts from your plan.

Luna is Somsio's coach. She knows the method you picked, the phase you're in and what you logged yesterday, and she's there any time, in your language.

  • She knows which night you're onAsk her “he's still not asleep, what do I do?” and she answers for tonight's phase: where to sit, how much to talk, what to expect. Even at 3 a.m.
  • She knows when it's not a sleep thingFever, snoring with pauses, crying that won't let up. Luna doesn't diagnose. She tells you it's time to see the pediatrician today, and why. The emergency button shows the number for your country.
  • She won't tell you to let your baby cry it outNever before 6 months, and after that only as part of the method you chose. She won't suggest syrups or melatonin, either.
The science

What you need to know about your baby's sleep, no guesswork.

Somsio is built on what research has already shown. Here it is, explained the way we wish someone had explained it to us.

How much a child sleeps in 24 hours, by age

These are the ranges recommended by sleep medicine societies, naps included. They're wide on purpose: two healthy kids the same age can sleep different amounts and both be totally fine. Somsio starts from these numbers to build your baby's day, then fine-tunes them with what you log.

8 h11 h14 h17 h20 h 0–3 mo 4–11 mo 1–2 yrs 3–5 yrs 14–17 h 12–16 h 11–14 h 10–13 h

Babies aren't born knowing that night is for sleeping

A newborn doesn't have a body clock yet. They can't tell day from night, which is why they sleep and eat around the clock. That clock develops between 6 and 12 weeks. What you do from day one helps it get on track sooner: normal light and noise during the day, calm and dim light at night, and a short bedtime routine.

Joseph et al., 2015: 35 babies followed from 6 to 18 weeks.

Starting early shapes the nights ahead

Families who, from the first weeks, make day and night feel different, repeat a short routine and respond calmly to night wakings have babies who sleep more at night and, by 3 months, sleep in long stretches more often. It's the best way to reach 6 months with a baby who already knows how to fall asleep on their own, and it doesn't affect breastfeeding or weight.

Sleep training works, with no lasting harm

Programs that teach babies to fall asleep on their own, tested in trials with hundreds of families, lead to fewer night wakings and moms who get more rest and feel better. When researchers checked in with those kids at age six, they slept just as well and had the same bond with their mom and the same well-being as everyone else. Sleep is a skill, and once it's learned, it sticks.

They'll protest. What matters is how you respond

Every baby pushes back when something changes, and how they experience it depends on how you respond. That's why Somsio lets you choose from five approaches, from the most gradual to the fastest, and Luna tells you what to do with each one, night by night. Never before 6 months, and never with medication.

6 months to 3 years

Five ways to teach them to fall asleep on their own. You pick.

A “method” is how you respond when they cry at bedtime or when they wake up, done the same way every night until they learn to fall asleep without help. All five work. What changes is how much crying there is and how long it takes. Somsio suggests one based on your baby's age and temperament and what you feel up to, and Luna walks you through it night by night. The call is always yours.

FadingKeep helping them fall asleep the way you do now (holding, nursing, rocking) and help a little less each week, until they fall asleep on their own. The slowest, gentlest option.A little crying
Pick Up / Put DownPut them down awake. If they cry, pick them up until they calm down, then lay them back down. Repeat as many times as it takes.A little crying
Chair methodSit next to the crib while they fall asleep. Every few nights, move the chair a little farther away, until you're out of the room.Some crying
Graduated intervals (Ferber)Put them down awake and leave the room. Check back at short intervals that get longer each time, so they know you're there without you putting them to sleep.Some to a lot of crying
Cry it out (extinction)Put them down awake and don't go back in until morning, unless something's wrong. It's the fastest. Only from 6 months on, and only if you choose it.A lot of crying

Questions

What people ask before downloading.

\1
What exactly is a “method”?

It's how you respond when they cry at bedtime or when they wake up, done the same way every night so they learn to fall asleep on their own. There are five, with different amounts of crying, and Somsio helps you pick yours. None before 6 months.

\n
What if it doesn't work with my baby?

We won't promise you a date, because no honest method can. What we will do is adjust the plan every morning based on what you log. Luna goes over what's happening with you and, if something isn't about sleep, sends you to the pediatrician. And the first week is free.

\n
I breastfeed and we bed-share. Will it work for us?

Yes. Night feeds are never cut back before 6 months, and the plan accounts for them. If you bed-share, the app shows you the safest way to do it for your country, no judgment.

My baby was a preemie.

Somsio always goes by corrected age, counted from your due date, everywhere in the app, not just on day one.

What ages does it cover?

From birth. The daily schedule runs until age 3; after that, Luna, the log and the history stay with you. Somsio always uses corrected age.

Is it a medical device?

No. Somsio guides you and tells you when to see a doctor, but it doesn't diagnose or replace your pediatrician. Luna reminds you in the chat, and we're saying it here too.

How do I cancel?

From your Apple account settings, like any subscription. The app shows you how, and it doesn't make it hard.

Is there an Android version?

No. Somsio is iPhone only, and we won't announce an Android version until it exists.

What languages does it come in?

English, Spanish and French. The app, Luna and this page.

Somsio started at home, with two kids who didn't sleep. At 3 a.m., information wasn't the problem. There was too much of it, and it kept contradicting itself. What I needed was someone who knew my baby and could tell me what to do that night. That's what we built. If something in the app doesn't feel right, write to me.
