[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None of this would have worked with my two kids. They’re great sleepers but we had a bedtime routine day 1 and part of that is sleeping in the same place in the same room with the same amount of light, surroundings, etc. Some kids really can sleep anywhere but I’ve found they’re the ones who took a lot longer to sleep through the night. I breastfed so never used a night nurse and don’t know what people usually do, but shuffling a newborn between rooms every night is a big no-no in every “sleep train without sleep training” method I know.

I agree with this, big time. Mine was a sleep wherever, whatever newborn, and she became the worst sleeper on earth around 8 weeks and stayed that way through toddlerhood. Never slept through the night, ever. Looking back I feel this might be in part because we had a night doula, bassinet, and crib so baby slept in 3 different rooms on random days and it may have effected getting her into a routine. We got the Snoo at 3 months and it was a godsend, but impossible to wean off of.

My best advice is to get the Snoo but do not use it until and unless you have to. You might get a good sleeper who doesn’t need it, in which case better to avoid because it’s so hard to wean off of for many. Also sleep in one space in one crib. For my next I’m not even going to do a bassinet, just a mini crib from birth to minimize transitions.[/quote]
