By 2 months old, he was sleeping nine hours with one middle-of-the-night feeding in between (usually around 3 a.m.), and by 3 months, he was sleeping about nine hours without the middle-of-the-night feeding. While Dr. Harvey Karp recommends keeping babies in the Snoo for five or six months (or until baby can push up on hands and knees), at almost four months, I began putting him down for some of his day naps in his crib. Since he would be napping in a crib at my mom's house when I returned to work, I wanted him to get used to sleeping in one at least part of the time.
Like a lot of parents, I was worried that he would get too dependent on the Snoo's constant motion, but thankfully, that hasn't been an issue. When it's time for him to nap in a crib, I've found that playing a white noise machine, swaddling him, and placing my hand on his chest to rock him in his crib has helped with the Snoo to crib transition. Snoo also has a weaning setting that parents can use when they're ready to transition their baby to a crib full-time. This setting turns the white noise on in the Snoo but turns off the constant motion. The motion will still kick in if your baby cries.
