Arms out ??

Little one is 10 weeks and around 3-4 AM will try to break free from the swaddle. I leave the snaps unbuttoned so her arms can be free, but she constantly is touching her face and making noises and I feel like she starts to wake up. I’ll re swaddle her with arms by her side and she will get a couple more hours of sleep.

Should I try putting her down with arms out? Do they eventually stop grabbing at their faces when sleeping? I tried one night when she was about 8 weeks old but she kept grabbing at her face and taking her paci out. I’m not sure if that means she’s not ready for arms out?

I also received the wrong legs

I saw the post yesterday and thought, surely mine won’t have that issue. Opened the box today and of course one of the legs is wrong. It won’t lock in place if I turn it around either.

Snoo making strange noise

Hoping someone can tell me if this is an easy fix? This snoo is older- I bought it used on FB MARKETPLACE. We used it and it was great, then it started making this noise. I was not worried as my son needed to transition out and this was the push we needed however I am wondering if I should try and fix it posted on Facebook marketplace as is or just toss it all together.

Levels for newborn

I have a 2 week old baby boy. I have the motion limiter set to ON and even level 2 seems too fast.

Is that normal?

Subtle vibration after replacing O-rings

Our snoo was jerky and making a squeaking sound so I replaced the 3 motor o-rings (we have a 2023 model). The o-rings were basically almost disintegrated! So I vacuumed the debris up and put everything together. When I test it before putting the zip ties on the snoo works (audio and movement) but it seems to vibrate a little when it rocks from side to side. It's subtle and not super visible on video but I see it. I don't know if it will be more stable once I screw everything in but wanted to see if this is normal or if I need to do anything else before putting the rest of it together.

Thanks!

Waited too late to wean

My 6.5 month old daughter LOVES her snoo and swaddle. We tried weaning her out of it without luck. She did fine with one arm out, fine with the other arm out, both arms….absolutely not. We tried weaning mode, couldn’t stand it. Now we’re 6.5 months old and rolling over like an alligator. We let her sleep in the swaddle and snoo for a hit longer hoping she would transition and we would be on track for her big girl bed (crib).

Last night in a moment of desperation and sheer blind hope we just ripped the bandaid off and put her in a zipadee transition swaddle, moved the snoo into the nursery and the crib into our room.

Our daughter slept for about 3 hours at a time, my husband got a decent bit of sleep, and I the primary food source and nighttime staff member got no sleep.

I wouldn’t be pressured to get her out if she wasn’t too long to sleep in it hooray >99th percentile length baby! And I can tell she wants to move around more (but also be swaddled which we can’t do outside of the snoo).

Please help. I’m desperate. We are all exhausted. I just want her to sleep comfortably.
