We are desperately trying to wear our son off the Snoo. He’s 5 months old and we know he should be out of it by 6 months. We thought we were giving ourselves enough time.

We’ve tried letting him fall asleep in our arms and then putting him in the crib but he wakes up immediately and starts to fuss. We’ve tried putting him in the crib drowsy but as soon as we lay him down he’s fussy. This situation can repeat itself for nearly an hour before we give up and put him in the Snoo. He will sometimes take naps in the crib and for a few nights he gave us around 5 hour stretches in the crib. We thought we were getting close! And then it’s like he took two steps backwards. Because now we’re lucky if we get an hour of nighttime sleep in the crib.

On the other hand, if we put him in the Snoo and strap him in, he falls asleep and stays asleep.

Any Snoo moms have any advice? Can you share how you made the transition?

Or any other moms whose baby hates their crib. What did you do??
