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.
