Swaddling snugly with the arms down is the key for great sleep!
Although some babies resist wrapping, arms-down swaddling helps most sleep
better. If your baby’s arms pop out from the inner band of the SNOO Sack, check
that it’s snug and that the lower edge covers most of the hands. Locking SNOO
on a higher level may also help your child be more accepting of the swaddle.
Pick up your baby if SNOO doesn’t quickly calm crying.
SNOO responds quickly to crying, often calming fussing within 30-60 seconds.
However, if the upset lasts longer, it’s unlikely that SNOO will succeed. So, if
crying continues, you should pick up your baby. It’s the signal she needs…you!
Don’t worry about vomiting or acid reflux in SNOO.
Spitting up (acid reflux) is common, but babies naturally turn the head when it
happens…so there’s very little concern. If your doctor wants you to raise your
baby’s head to reduce reflux, our SNOO Leg Lifters are perfect for that!
Embrace the jiggle!
Some parents find it very odd to see their baby jiggling on SNOO’s top levels.
But, many babies love vigorous bouncing on exercise balls and going on bumpy
car rides. Jiggling often quickly calms crying during the early months because it
mimics the motion babies love in the womb!
By 3-4 months, babies become more alert…and this can undermine sleep.
For babies who suddenly go through a 3- or 4-month sleep regression, locking
SNOO at a higher level can help tune out distractions and keep them sleeping.
After weaning from SNOO…use white noise for at least a year.
Sound eases the transition to the crib…and helps babies stay good sleepers.
Your baby is unique! It’s easy to customize SNOO so it’s perfect for your baby.
