My baby is 12 weeks old. We started using the snoo at 7 weeks old when our friend asked if we wanted to borrow theirs. Before that, we were not sleeping. I was lucky if my baby would sleep in his regular halo bassinet more than 30 minutes at a time. With the snoo, we are still not sleeping through the night. Much better than pre-snoo though. He won’t sleep at night in the snoo until after 9:00, usually more around 10. He’ll sleep for 4 ish hours usually, then he feeds, is held upright for a half hour after eating (he has pretty bad reflux), and he’s back in the snoo for maybe another 2 hours, sometimes more and sometimes less. So he’s getting 6.5-7 hours of nighttime sleep in the snoo, aka not enough. But that’s not the point of this post.

My issue is that he absolutely will not daytime nap in the snoo. The second I stick him in there, he’s wide awake, or awake after about 10 minutes. I’ve tried so many times, bought blackout curtains as well, but he just won’t nap in it. I usually contact nap in the day and he sleeps in the snoo at night. But since he isn’t really sleeping super long at night, I’m not really getting sustainable sleep as I cannot “sleep when the baby sleeps” during the day.

Is anyone else’s baby like this? Does anyone have any suggestions here?
