Frequently asked questions
I've already tried three sleep aids. Why would this be any different?
That's the most important question on this page — and you deserve a straight answer.
Everything you've tried before was solving a different problem.
White noise treats sound. Weighted blankets treat pressure. Night lights treat darkness.
None of them treated the actual cause of your baby's waking — the absence of a
living, breathing rhythm.
The Breathing Koala physically mimics the rise and fall of your chest. That's the
one signal your baby's nervous system is actually searching for in the dark. It's not
a better version of what you've tried. It's a fundamentally different mechanism.
And if it doesn't work for your family within 30 days — full refund, no questions asked.
Is it safe for newborns? What about the battery compartment?
Yes — with one simple guideline for under-12-months:
Place it beside the crib, not directly next to a newborn's face. The motion and
sound carry beautifully from nearby. From 12 months onwards, it becomes a full bed
companion your toddler can hold and sleep with directly.
On the battery compartment: it features a screw-lock design — a coin or screwdriver
is needed to open it. No loose parts. No accessible batteries. No way for little
hands to get in. We designed it this way deliberately because we know who's using it.
Always follow your paediatrician's safe sleep guidelines.
Can I actually put it in the washing machine?
Yes. Fully. This was non-negotiable when we designed it.
1. Unzip the hidden zip on the back
2. Remove the breathing module (the small electronic unit)
3. Put the plush in the machine on a gentle/delicate cycle
4. Air dry or tumble dry on low
5. Zip the module back in — done
Parents in our community have put it through 15+ washes with zero degradation.
A sleep aid that can't survive a stomach bug at 2am is a single-use toy.
This one is built to last.
How long does shipping to Australia take?
5–9 business days to all Australian states and territories — including regional
and rural addresses, NT, remote WA, and Tasmania.
Every order is:
✔️ Fully tracked from dispatch to your door — tracking number sent by email
✔️ Insured against loss or damage — if something goes wrong we resend or refund
✔️ Free shipping on every order, no minimum spend
What if it doesn't work for my baby?
Send it back within 30 days. Full refund. No questions, no hoops, no awkward emails.
Our honest recommendation first: give it 7 days of consistent use before making
a judgement. Many babies who seem uninterested on night one are reaching for it
by night four. The association takes time to build — and when it clicks, it clicks hard.
But if after 7 nights it genuinely isn't working — contact us and we'll sort it immediately.
We're this confident because 89% of AU parents in our community reported their baby
slept longer on the very first night. The rare exception deserves a refund, not a runaround.
