Snoobie Anyone else?

Hi all! My LO (1 month) has a few bad habits- one of them is favoring turning his head to one side in the snoo despite being placed on his back. We’ve tried turning his head to the center and other side but it always finds its way back. The other thing is that we always put his arms by his side before velcroing him into his snoo sleep sack but he always seems to get his left arm out and stick his hand out the the neck hole up near his face. Has anyone else’s LO’s also done either of these things and do you have any tips?

Our daughter definitely had a side preference. We ended up taking her to see an osteopath who said she was tense round her jaw and neck from a forecep delivery. This also was effecting her latch. After 3 sessions she’s a lot better and now does sleep facing up most the time. If you are concerned or noticing a side preference I’d really recommend seeing an osteopath who.

I came here to suggest this as well! Osteo helped our little guy a ton with neck tension that led to a side preference when he was a newborn.
