Oona: Sleep Training Timer

This app has been a tremendous help in sleep training our little one! From the breakdown of each day, to the “Frequently Asked Questions”, this app has helped us navigate the challenge of sleep training while having the support needed for first time parents! As a first time parent, the idea of sleep training felt very overwhelming, however Oona has helped us feel more confident in both ourselves and our baby. Taking it day by day, timer by timer. Building up the habit and practice while feeling supported throughout the process.

This app was recommended by my sister so we decided to try this method with our 6 month old, and honestly it made a huge difference in how confident we felt. Sleep training is emotional and exhausting, especially at 2am, and having step by step guidance right there kept us from second guessing ourselves. What I love most is the built in timers. When your baby is crying, it’s really hard to keep track of wait intervals in your head. The timer handles that and clearly tells you when it’s time for a check in. It also makes it easy to log cries, wake ups, and check ins with just one tap, so you’re not fumbling around half asleep. The progress tracking was surprisingly motivating. Seeing the charts of crying time gradually decrease over several nights helped us stick with the plan. The timeline view for each night is also helpful when you want to look back and understand patterns. I appreciate that you can customize the plan (wait intervals, number of nights, etc.) instead of being locked into one rigid method. We started with a gentler preset and adjusted as we got more comfortable. If I had one suggestion, it would be adding more educational content about what’s developmentally normal at different ages. But as a practical tool for actually executing sleep training, it’s incredibly helpful. Overall, this app brought structure and calm to a really overwhelming process and our baby is now sleeping through the night. Totally worth

Grateful to this app during a time that I was a struggling parent with a newborn child. It gave me the structure I needed in order to start having more predictability with my kids' sleep and damn, he sleeps good now.

Very well designed and thought through app. Helped me a lot

Sleep training your newborn is hard as it is, but this app helped provide clear structure on when to check in with baby based on the type of sleep training method we wanted to go with. My wife and I had our eyes glued to the screen, waiting for the timer so that we could go tend to our screaming baby. It was also great for letting us know when the check in time period was over. Worked alot better than just trying to time everything on our phone’s clock app!

I really liked being able to use the timers to help me know when to go in. But I would have liked to be able to log just a nap if I wanted to. But it has me basically log “a new night” which is annoying.

So thankful to have found this app. It was super easy to navigate, as we definitely had zero idea how to do this! Thankfully from night 3, our baby started sleeping through the night- a full 11 hours mostly without interruption. The step-by-step guidance simplified things for first-time parents like us!

I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the app has been really helpful during sleep training. Its simple to use and the instructions make it easier to stay consistent. I like having a clear plan to follow when I’m tired and unsure what to do.

Pretty solid app. I don’t really have any complaints so far. Seems to cover everything I need. The log summary page is probably my favorite part. Being able to look back at the timeline and see what happened overnight is really helpful.

Used this to sleep train my son who I am pretty sure was going through the 4-month regression. We’ve worked our way up to 12 hour sleep without any wake ups now, so it went very well considering. Overall, I honestly have no complaints. It was was straightforward following the timers and instructions. I also liked that you can see all the wake ups/check-ins in the summary screen and the timestamps for each. That was probably my favorite feature. Anyways, I thought the app was quite helpful!
