Has anyone decided to use or not to use the snoo bassinet? My husband coworkers recommended it to him and we are wondering if the pros had outweighed the cons for any of you guys based on usage.
Can you let me know any benefits you personally experienced and anything about it you’d caution against ? I would appreciate any tips !!

It’s the most expensive on the market, $1500+ a standard bassinet is around $99. I’ve heard mixed reviews on it

I talked to a sleep consultant and she didn’t recommend it. She said the baby will get used to just being continuously rocked.

I went for it while it was on sale. I’ve heard from multiple moms that it was a sleep saver! renting is also an option as well as selling it after to keep the price down.

I got mine for a super good price and I'm very excited to use it

My only experience was a baby in my class that had it. From that I definitely don’t recommend it especially if you’re going back to work and they will have care outside of your house. By 2/3 months he was going 8+ hours without a nap because he couldn’t sleep without being shaken. His brother happened to mention the snoo so I looked it up and ended up shaking his crib and he was out in 2 minutes. When they eventually had to move him out they had an extremely hard time getting him to sleep because he relied on it so heavily

It’s on sale right now on Amazon and also, if someone purchases it off your Amazon registry, I’m pretty sure you get up to a year to return. Haven’t checked with this item specifically, but that’s been the case with everything else. Something to consider if you’re on the fence but want to try it.
I know a lot of places rent it month by month as well.
We ended up going with the Cradlewise, very similar but converts to mini crib to allow us to continue to use it up to 18 months or so.

Thanks for all the feedback- really appreciate it
