Product Information

When you lay your baby in SNOO, make sure their feet are at the end nearest to the Activity Button. Adds roughly 1 to 2 hours sleep each night.And most SNOO babies sleep 9 hours or more by 2 to 3 months. Dr. Harvey Karp refers to the first few months of the baby’s life as “the fourth trimester.”This ties into the principles behind the SNOO and the reasons behind why Dr. Karp created the SNOO. SNOO imitates the womb As the weeks passed and my little guy adjusted to Snoo life, his wake-ups became less frequent, until I had to start setting an alarm to get him up for meals. (For the first few months of life, regardless of where they’re sleeping, infants need to eat every two to four hours.) At 5 weeks old, he would have happily slept through the night in the Snoo without my intervention.

The Snoo will buy you more time in bed. If you’re like me, you’ll still wake up when the baby wakes up. You’ll hear the fuss. But instead of peeling yourself out of bed, you’ll then hear the Snoo start to do its soothing thing. The value of an extra five or 10 minutes in bed to the parent of a newborn baby cannot be overstated. SNOO is not a replacement for you– it won’t calm down a baby fussing because they need a diaper change or is hot, cold, or hungry. It’s such an obvious thing to say, but you’d be surprised… Babies who “practice tummy time” and sleep 14 hours or so in the Snoo, with the remainder spent elsewhere (such as in their parents’ arms or in a baby carrier) are less likely to experience developmental delays and flat head than babies who spend 18 daily hours of sleep in the same position without that crucial tummy time, Giannone says. But because babies often roll for the first time at night when they are alone in their own space, parents may miss that important milestone and keep babies in the Snoo longer than they should, she says. Parents might miss these early signs if a baby is in day care, too.In weaning mode, the basinet will only move while the baby is falling asleep and then just continue playing the white noise. Offers flexibility. When renting SNOO, you can commit at your own pace and keep it as long as you need it (minimum rental period applies). Boot up the SNOO by pressing the button on the front once. The light will change from white to blue, indicating that the SNOO is running in Baseline mode. It might take a week or so, but you’re golden once you have that down. Let’s speed that up. Happiest Baby and Dr. Harvey Karp

Not only does the Snoo require the use of white noise, Karp also recommends continued use of white noise for up to two years after the baby has outgrown the bassinet. Happiest Baby sells the Snoobear, a responsive plush “lovey” that plays white noise for babies and toddlers for 30 minutes to an hour at a time. To manually increase the intensity level, push the button and hold for 3 seconds. The color of the light will change to indicate the intensity change. To continue going up in levels, release the button and hold again for 3 seconds each time. To stop at any time, simply press and release the button OR remove the swaddle sleeve The Snoo was the bassinet we returned to most often throughout our testing of bassinets, because it was so effective at helping our entire family get more hours of nightly sleep. But it doesn’t work for everyone.

If the SNOO won’t boot up,the most likely reason is the connection between the loops and the safety clips. If they’re not securely attached, the bassinet won’t start.
