Goldminds: Sleep & Mindfulness 4+

My daughter has always been very energetic and playful which has led to a long wind down routine for naps and night sleep pretty much since she was born. I’m not kidding when I say this app and it’s stories has taken our 30+ minute routine down to 7 minutes or less. My daughter gets so excited for her stories every night and we’ve now incorporated them for nap time and even in the car when she’s fussy. The meditative music in the background and at the end of the stories is so soothing it even gets my nervous system in a calm state which I’m sure my daughter picks up on and feeds off of. Truly so grateful something like this exists. Definitely going to continue using this app for the foreseeable future.

YUP here to report this app is just as magical as I thought it was a month ago. Literally have used this app for every single nap and bed time for a month and it’s continued to be game changer. It also knocks ME out when I’m putting my daughter down!?! The calming meditative music at the end of the stories has actual sleep magic in them. Literally could be more grateful for this resource and I recommend it to EVERY single parent I can when I’m out and about. 😅🥲

I started using the Goldmines app a few weeks ago before I weaned my 14m/o off feeding to sleep. I was really nervous about this transition as she has never been a good sleeper and bedtime generally takes a year off my life 😵‍💫. I tried to layer listening to stories in before weaning, skeptical but desperate and willing to try anything. All I have to say is wow! The stories are so cute ( bonus points for seasonal ones) and I love the subtle transition from stories to calming music. My daughter is a raging extrovert so listening to these stories I think helps her ease into sleep without feeling like she’s missing out on anything. I have genuinely gone from dreading bedtime to enjoying it! It now takes less than 20 minutes for my daughter to fall asleep. We love these stories and the creators behind them!! It’s been such a lifesaver.

I have a 20 month old and a 3 month old. My husband had to travel for work this week and I was dreading it… he’s been doing bedtime for the 20 month old nightly since the newborn arrived and also cosleeps with him for most the night. Night one, my toddler fell asleep easily in the car but the three month old wouldn’t calm down. Turned on a story and she was calm in 30s, passed out within a few minutes. Both kids transferred easily! Night two, toddler wouldn’t fall asleep in the car and was very restless listening to the Taylor swift method in his bed - switched to a story and he was asleep before it could transition to music. The baby then fell asleep too while listening to the music! Even though I was dreading solo nights, I was excited to try these stories and they did not disappoint! So so grateful!
