If the SNOO is on your registry — or you're trying to decide whether it should be — this episode is for you.The SNOO bassinet is one of the most talked-about baby products on the market, and honestly, for good reason. It works. But as a Certified Lactation Counselor, Newborn Care Specialist, and Pediatric Sleep Consultant, there's a part of this conversation the marketing consistently leaves out — and it's the part that shows up in my coaching room at three, four, and five months postpartum, when families are more exhausted than they were in the newborn stage and trying to undo something they never saw coming.So before you decide if the SNOO is worth it, this is the episode I'd want you to hear. I break down exactly what the SNOO is actually doing, why it's so effective, and the one question every family should ask before they buy — because it's not the question most people are asking.If you want to make this decision intentionally before your baby arrives, rather than reactively at the four-month mark, this one's worth ten minutes.In this episode:What the SNOO actually does, and why it's so effectiveThe dependency pattern that forms quietly over the first few weeksWhy so many SNOO families hit a wall at the transition to the crib — and what's really driving itThe one question to ask yourself before your baby arrives👉 Want the full roadmap before your baby comes home?
