Baby music app backed by neuroscience research papers. Feedback?
Why this?
After reading dozens of peer-reviewed papers (and speaking to a child psych PhD), I found strong, consistent evidence that exposure to specific types of music — especially early in life — can:
Improve language acquisition
Enhance emotional regulation
Boost musical aptitude
Help babies sleep better and longer
Yet most baby music apps are just Spotify playlists with cute branding.
So I built one that creates custom, research-backed audio based on cognitive principles — pleasant to hear, but intentionally designed to promote development. Think Calm/Headspace meets early childhood.
It’s getting some love from friends and early testers, but I’m hitting a wall on distribution.
This is new territory for me — I’m a builder, not a marketer — and I’d genuinely appreciate input on:
Distribution strategies (how do solo founders grow a B2C product like this?)
Getting early users beyond friends/family
UX ideas for non-tech-savvy parents
Pricing/positioning for trust in a product targeting babies
I’d also love feedback if anyone here has expertise in: audio apps, consumer trust, or building for kids.
Open to all thoughts, praise or roast.
