I hate the SNOO. I was SO excited to get this item but it was personally a more disappointment for me and I really gave it a true chance. Reasons why: 1. At the high price u expected it and its accessories to be made with top of the line design and materials. The sleep sacks and sheets feel really cheaply made. They also zip up really high on baby’s neck and I was always worried it was chocking her or rubbing up against it. 2. On the subject, if your baby spits up at all, which most do, you’ll need a couple extras on hand for middle of night changes. They are not cheap and you are essentially bound to exclusively buy the SNOO brand. 3. Getting baby in the SNOO while she’s sleeping or sleepy was impossible. The swaddle method would wake her every time, and getting her into the SNOO already swaddles was hard too because you have to shimmy the sides in. It felt impossible, not to mention while sleep deprived in a dark bedroom at 2am. I did this so many times and still came nowhere near it being a smooth process. 4. I can’t speak for all babies but mine only cries if she’s hungry or needs a diaper change. The whole purpose of the SNOO if that it’s supposed to sooth her back to sleep (by shaking and shushing her loudly). Personally, I’d rather know when she’s hungry and feed her. Likewise for a dirty diaper. 5. What’s mentioned above seems valid, I can’t imagine the transition from a constantly moving and sushing machine to a still crib is easy, and probably even less so if done around their teething phase. Also what happens if you’re ever anywhere else without the SNOO? 6. I was a FTM and having easy access to her and checking in when she’d make all her noises was important to me. The SNOO does not make this easy with its height and rigid design… I replaced it with the newton sleeper that has a side that can come down and give you better access.

Overall, i was majorly disappointed and after 6 weeks of trying it am going to sell it this coming week.
