Snoo-ing as needed?
Our baby is 8 weeks old and we’re just now starting to use our Snoo at all regularly. To date, we’ve mostly just used it as a static bassinet.
Our baby sometimes sleeps pretty well. That is, he goes down at a reasonable hour and only makes noises when between sleep cycles or in need of a meal or diaper change. Other times he takes 4 hours to go to sleep and stay asleep for more than 5 min, and even when he is asleep, he sounds like a fright train (not fully waking or crying, but never fully settling, either). The Snoo seems pretty effective at calming him in the latter scenarios.
Our plan is to just use the Snoo as needed when he’s not sleeping well. So we’d try to put him down ourselves without turning it on, but if he’s struggling to go down or sleeping really loudly, we’d turn it on.
Anyone else have experience doing this? Any reasons it’s a good or bad idea?
