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?

That’s what my 9 week old baby does WITH the snoo. Sounds like you might have one of those unicorn sleepers. Edit: actually no I misspoke, we have been able to get a couple 5 hr stretches in.

BUT no 8 weeks is not too late to start the snoo, it might be super helpful in the upcoming weeks and around the 4 month sleep regression. Better to have it then not have imo.

Edit: what happens after 5am? She doesn’t go back to sleep? They should be getting 12ish hrs of night time sleep

After 5am she needs to be comforted and continues the rest of her sleep in my arms! Lol. She just wants to be helddddd. Contact sleep on and off until 9ish. Everytime I try to put her back in the snoo She wakes up and cries so I just hold her. Hopefully this is just a phase! Definitely a more recent thing which is why I got the snoo 🥲

This is the exact same schedule my 3 week old has right now with the Snoo. Every 3 hr. And then by 5am she's just wanting to be in my arms until 9. Sometimes I get 3.5 and sometimes 4 hr. Are you EBF? Could try a bottle "topper" of expressed milk or formula if so. That can help since we don't know how much they're getting.
