About the Lunara parenting app

What Lunara is, who built it, and how it helps families worldwide.

Lunara is an AI-powered parenting app that tracks sleep, feeding, milestones, growth, and vaccinations — then delivers personalised weekly insights to help parents understand their baby's data in plain language. It is available free on iOS and Android.

Lunara works by letting parents log daily activities — sleep sessions, feeds, diaper changes, growth measurements, and milestones — with a single tap. Its AI analyses all four data streams simultaneously and delivers a personalised weekly digest every Sunday explaining what the patterns mean and what to do next.

Yes. Lunara is free to download and use forever. The free plan includes sleep logging, feeding tracking, basic milestone records, and one child profile with no time limit. The Pro plan unlocks full AI insights, WHO growth charts, the vaccine tracker, and the weekly digest — free for the first 7 days, no credit card required.

Lunara was founded by Mia Harlow, a pediatric nurse with 8 years of clinical experience and mother of two, alongside a team of engineers, data scientists, and parenting wellness experts. The company is Lunara Technologies Private Limited, incorporated in India and serving families in 68 countries.

No. Lunara is an educational tracking tool — it does not provide medical advice, diagnoses, or treatment of any kind. It is designed to complement your pediatrician relationship by giving you organised, data-rich information for every well-baby visit. Always consult your healthcare provider for any medical concern.

Getting started with Lunara

Setup, account creation, partner sharing, and offline use.

Download Lunara from the App Store or Google Play, create a free account with your email address or Google/Apple sign-in, then add your baby's name and date of birth. Lunara immediately builds an age-appropriate schedule framework. Most parents complete setup in under 3 minutes with no configuration needed.

Yes. Lunara is designed from birth — tracking every nap, feed, and diaper change for newborns with age-specific insights that adapt automatically as your baby grows through each developmental stage from birth to toddlerhood.

Lunara supports multiple child profiles within one account. Each child has their own independent tracking dashboard, schedule, milestone timeline, and AI insights. Switch between children with a single tap from the home screen. The free plan includes one child profile; Pro supports unlimited profiles.

Yes. Lunara's partner sync lets both parents see the same live dashboard in real time. When one parent logs a feed, nap, or milestone, the other sees it immediately — so whoever handles the 3am feed, both parents wake up fully informed the next morning.

Lunara supports offline logging for sleep, feeds, and basic tracking. Entries sync automatically when your internet connection is restored. AI-generated insights and the weekly digest require an active connection to generate and deliver.

Baby sleep tracker — common questions

How the sleep tracker works, regression detection, wake windows, and schedules.

Lunara's baby sleep tracker logs every nap and night session with one tap. The app automatically builds your baby's sleep pattern, shows a 7-day overview, calculates their optimal bedtime window from real data, and uses AI to detect when a regression is building — typically flagging it 3–5 days before it peaks. See how sleep tracking works →

Yes. Lunara's AI monitors pattern shifts associated with developmental sleep regressions and alerts parents typically 3–5 days before a regression peaks — based on shifts in your baby's specific data history, not age-based averages alone.

Tap the sleep icon on the Lunara home screen to start a sleep timer. Tap again when the session ends. Lunara records the duration, time, and sleep type (nap or night) automatically. You can also log sleep manually by entering start and end times retrospectively.

Yes. Lunara calculates your baby's optimal wake windows based on their age and actual sleep history, displaying them in the daily schedule view. The AI adjusts these recommendations as your baby's patterns evolve — reflecting your specific baby's data, not population averages.

Lunara adapts to your baby's natural schedule at every age — from newborn feed-sleep cycles through the 3-to-2 nap transition, 2-to-1 nap transition, and into toddler schedules. The AI detects transition readiness signals in your data and suggests timing adjustments before disruption happens.

Baby feeding tracker — questions answered

Breastfeeding, bottle feeding, pumping, and solid food introduction.

Lunara tracks all feeding methods — breastfeeding (left and right side with duration), bottle feeding (volume and formula type), pumping sessions (volume and storage), and solid food introduction. Each session is logged individually, and AI insights connect feeding patterns to growth and sleep data.

Yes. Lunara's feeding tracker includes dedicated breastfeeding logging with left/right side tracking, session duration, and latch notes. The AI monitors feeding frequency and duration relative to your baby's age and growth trajectory, flagging any patterns worth discussing with your healthcare provider.

Yes. Lunara's feeding tracker includes a weaning and solid food section that logs first foods introduced, acceptance notes, and any reactions. This creates a complete feeding record across all methods from birth through weaning that you can share with your pediatrician.

Yes. Lunara records every feed with time, duration, and volume where applicable. The daily feeding summary shows total feeds, average intervals, and trend direction — and the AI connects feeding patterns to growth measurements to explain correlation between feeding changes and development shifts.

Baby milestone tracker — frequently asked questions

Coverage, guidelines (WHO, AAP, CDC), alerts, and how missed milestones are handled.

Lunara tracks 50+ developmental milestones across motor, language, social-emotional, and cognitive development — calibrated to WHO, AAP, and CDC guidelines. Each milestone is presented within its typical age window, with a 2-week advance alert before each window opens. Explore all 50+ milestones we track →

Yes. Lunara's milestone tracker sends an alert 2 weeks before each developmental window opens — giving you time to watch for the milestone and capture the moment. You can log achievements with a photo, video, or note directly in the app.

Yes. Lunara's milestone data is calibrated to published guidelines from the WHO (World Health Organization), the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics), and the CDC (Centers for Disease Control). Milestone windows reflect the typical range across healthy populations — not a fixed date every baby must meet.

Lunara displays milestone windows as ranges, not deadlines. If a milestone is not yet achieved within the typical window, Lunara notes it on the timeline without alarming language. Every child develops at their own pace — Lunara recommends discussing any developmental concerns with your pediatrician.

Baby growth tracker — common questions

WHO percentile charts, growth spurt detection, and health report exports.

Lunara's baby growth tracker records weight, height/length, and head circumference at each measurement, then plots all three on WHO-standard percentile curves — the same charts your pediatrician uses. The AI detects growth spurt patterns 2–4 days in advance based on your baby's specific data trajectory. Explore our baby growth tracker feature →

Yes. Lunara plots all growth measurements on WHO (World Health Organization) standard percentile curves by default, with the option to use CDC growth charts for US families. Both reference sets are built into the app — no additional setup required.

Yes. Lunara Pro generates a complete growth history PDF formatted for pediatric review — including all weight, height, and head circumference measurements with dates, plotted on percentile curves. Export in one tap from Settings → Export Health Report.

Lunara's AI analyses the relationship between feeding frequency increases, sleep pattern changes, and growth measurement velocity to flag likely growth spurts 2–4 days before they become obvious. This helps parents understand why feeding has suddenly increased, rather than assuming something is wrong.

AI parenting insights — how it works

The weekly digest, accuracy, data sources, and medical boundaries.

Lunara's AI analyses sleep patterns, feeding frequency, growth measurements, and milestone progress simultaneously, then delivers a personalised weekly digest every Sunday morning. Each insight includes a confidence score and a specific recommended action — written in plain language without medical jargon.

The weekly AI digest is a personalised summary delivered every Sunday morning covering 3–5 insights from your baby's previous 7 days. It connects data across sleep, feeding, growth, and milestones — explaining, for example, that a night-waking increase is linked to a developmental leap rather than a schedule problem.

Lunara's AI is calibrated to published guidelines from the WHO, AAP, and CDC and reviewed periodically by our pediatric advisory team. Every insight includes a confidence score so you can see how certain the recommendation is. All AI outputs are informational only — always consult your healthcare provider for medical decisions.

Lunara uses proprietary machine learning models built on pediatric research data and calibrated to WHO, AAP, and CDC guidelines. AI inference may be powered by third-party infrastructure providers bound by strict data processing agreements. Your personal child data is never used to train shared models for other users.

No. Lunara's AI provides educational and informational insights only — not medical advice, diagnoses, or treatment recommendations. Every AI output is framed as general guidance. For any health concern about your baby, always consult a qualified healthcare professional.

Baby vaccine tracker — questions answered

CDC schedule support, reminders, records, and post-vaccine monitoring.

Yes. Lunara's baby vaccine tracker includes the CDC recommended childhood immunization schedule as its default reference, with options to switch to WHO global guidelines, the NHS UK schedule, or a fully custom schedule set by you or your healthcare provider. See full vaccine tracker details →

Lunara's vaccine tracker stores the full vaccine name, dose number, date administered, provider name and clinic, batch or lot number, injection site, and any post-vaccine observations — creating a complete digital vaccination record exportable as a PDF for school enrollment, travel, or specialist visits.

Yes. Lunara's vaccine tracker sends 3-stage smart reminders before every scheduled appointment: 4 weeks before (to book), 1 week before (confirmation), and the day before (preparation reminder). Reminders are delivered by push notification and email.

Yes. Lunara Pro includes a 72-hour post-vaccine monitoring window that activates automatically after each logged vaccination. It prompts you to log temperature, behaviour, feeding, and any site reactions — creating a timestamped record to share with your healthcare provider if needed.
