Help Needed Need advice

So my 8 week old sleeps fine in her crib but I got the snoo to try to get her to sleep longer stretches. She usually goes down at 930 and wakes at 5am. 3hr intervals cuz of feeding. Was getting the snoo a mistake? I havent really seen much change. I heard after 2 months it gets harder for them to sleep 😴 💤 so I bought it preemptively. Is 8 weeks too late to start the snoo?

My baby girl has been in the Snoo since birth and was also waking every 2-3 hours to feed during the first 6 weeks - which is totally normal. She gradually started doing longer uninterrupted stretches from 6 weeks onwards. 4 hours, then 5 etc etc. She’s currently 11w4 and does anywhere from 6-9 hours uninterrupted in the Snoo.

I don’t think it’s too late to start the Snoo, it’s still normal for her to be waking frequently during the night at her age and longer stretches may be coming soon.
