[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How long do you think it is necessary to use a bassinet? I’m looking at the Snoo rental option, but mot sure if it makes financial sense for more than a couple months...[/quote]

I’m the person who mentioned the snoo rental. I think realistically usually people transition out by 3 or 4 months. I’m thinking about three months of rental. It’s not the cheapest option, that’s for sure. But my first baby was very rough with sleep the first months and I’ve heard good things so I’m willing to pay almost anything for more potential sleep :) (privileged statement I know? [/quote]

The Snoo is technically marketed to be for 0-6 months but I think many babies transition out at the 4-5 month mark (I'm in a Snoo fbook group for tips and tricks, I think 4.5-5ish months seems most common). Ours was in the Snoo until 5 months when I felt comfortable transitioning him to his own room in the crib (he was probably over the motion a few weeks earlier and we weren't swaddling his arms down anymore at that point so having him clipped in felt so dumb). BUT do the math - there is a huge resale market for the Snoo and it may make more sense to buy it (if you can get it on Sale. Also Amazon sells it now, add it to your registry for end of registry discount) and resell it for $700-800 when you're done if you think you'll use it for 4+ months.  We bought ours because we plan to have more kids, but even if we weren't I think we'd have bought and resold and it would have come out much better than renting for 4-5 months.[/quote]
