Start with safe placement
The most important rule is simple: keep the phone safely out of the baby’s reach. Do not place a loose phone in a crib, bassinet, stroller, or anywhere the baby can grab it, pull it, cover it, or press buttons.
Use a stable surface near the routine area, not inside the sleep space. The phone should not be able to fall or slide.
Use these ideas with KalmBaby
Set up calming sounds, white noise, vibration intensity and session length directly in the app.
Do not block the speaker or microphone
If you use sound, the speaker needs to be uncovered. If you use Monitor AI crying detection, the microphone also needs to be uncovered. Cases, blankets, pillows, or soft materials can reduce sound quality and detection reliability.
A flat, open placement helps the app behave more predictably.
Be careful with vibration
Vibration depends on the phone and the surface. Test the feeling before using it as part of a routine. Use the lowest comfortable intensity first, and avoid placing the phone where the baby can contact it directly.
If the surface makes vibration feel too strong or unstable, use sound-only mode instead.
Keep the app active
KalmBaby sound, vibration, and Monitor AI features are designed to work while the app is open. Do not lock the phone or switch to another app during a session. Use the app’s own Dim or Screen off option to reduce light.
When Screen off is active inside KalmBaby, tap the screen to bring the controls back.
Reduce interruptions
Calls, notifications, and alerts can interrupt the routine. If you do not need network access during the session, airplane mode can help create a quieter environment after setup.
Safe placement, fewer notifications, and simple settings make the phone a calmer tool instead of another source of stimulation.
