Snoo Vs newton matress

Best friend is heavily pushing the snoo because baby doesn’t flip over. Does the newton mattress replace that worry since it’s breathable or is the snoo The only way to prevent them from sids?

Hi! One is a bassinet and the other one is a mattress. From my knowledge, snoo does not make a mattress for a crib. Unfortunately and sadly I don’t think there’s anything that is a 100% preventable from SIDS.

I also have extreme anxiety about sids but babies flipping over is not the main cause of sids by any means and I do not think that justifies the need to buy a 1500 dollar bassinet. I think it’s more important to set up a safe sleep environment- nothing in or around crib just a tight fitted sheet, stop swaddling when they show signs of rolling over, place on their back in the middle of the crib/bassinet. There are also other evidence based ways of decreasing sids- prevent overheating by dressing appropriately, fan on in the room, give pacifier at bedtime. All of those are cheap and have actual research backing them. I think snoo preys on parental anxiety without actual reason.
