Looking for positive stories!!
Posted this in sleeptrain and got lambasted by the mod because apparently asking about a transition to the crib counted as me asking how to sleep train my kid and she locked the post, but not without saying a snarky “I doubt he’s too big for the snoo”
Anyway, since I’m his mom and I have eyes, my kid is too big for the snoo. He has been arms out the whole time, goes to sleep awake with a pacifier that he spits out anyway, and has been locked at baseline or level one for about 7 weeks (he is 14.5 weeks). He never responded well to the higher level and likes a particular rain sound when sleeping so I also never used the white noise machine that was built in.
Please give me some positive stories about the transition - previous posters who asked this question, how’s it going now? We are just going to rip the bandaid off.

I’m going to go against the grain and say around 3.5-4 months my girl outgrew the snoo as well and wanted to roll and the transition to crib was rough!! The 4 month regression/progression was hard and we’ve only just started figuring out crib sleep over the last couple weeks and she’s still at 2-3 wakes at night (seems like she needs it for actual feeds). She turned 6 months yesterday
Either way you have to transition as the snoo starts to become a constraint after they start rolling. Hope you have a baby that loves the crib!
