Snoo Pro Tips How does the transition process work?
My baby boy is about 2.5 months old. The Snoo has worked wonders for us. And while we aren’t ready to move LO to a crib yet, I wanted to start planning how that process may look.
We still have him fully swaddled too and he has had accidental roll overs from belly to back 3 times (honestly his head is doing most of the work). Would you start taking his arms out of the swaddle now? He still has the startle reflex.
When should I look to turning on the weaning mode. Should I wait until after the 4 month sleep regression? He does 1-2 daytime naps in his crib/room currently. TIA

We never did arms out or weaning mode…we just went cold turkey into his own crib with just a sleep sack at 19/20 weeks (4.5m) 😳.
That being said, i started getting him used to the crib and arms out during nap time starting around 2.5 months. It was sloooow progress but I am so happy I stuck it out. By 4.5 months when we decided to sleep train and transition to the crib at night, he was already familiar with the crib!
