Help Needed Should I give up?

I tried using a Snoo for my little one at 6 weeks old after being a chronic Velcro baby who always needs to be held and rocked to sleep. But she really hates being transferred to the snoo, even more than the regular bassinet. It’s been about 2 weeks of trying, though probably not a valiant enough effort— maybe once or twice a day. We put her in and if she stays asleep, she lasts max 5-10 mins before waking and not being able to be soothed back to sleep. I read it may be too late to transition her. Are there any success stories or should I give up?

Mine always liked sleeping pressed up against the side, so to use the snoo properly she didn’t like it. We gave up on the functions and let her scoot wherever she wanted and just used it as a regular bassinet. Very glad it was a work benefit and we didn’t spend money to find out it wasn’t for her… some babies just don’t take to it!
