DR. KARP'S TIPS
Great advice for great SNOOzing!
Dr. Karp worked with hundreds of families to find the perfect womb rhythms to
quickly calm fussing and boost sleep. Through this research, he developed many
helpful tips.
Here are some that parents use the most:
Babies can be put down in SNOO asleep...or awake.
It's fine to lay your baby down awake or asleep. SNOO's gentle rhythms are a
reminder of the soothing sensations your baby loved in the womb and they
actually help babies learn to self-soothe.
Use SNOO for nights and naps.
The more often you use SNOO, the sooner your baby will associate its special
sounds and rocking with bedtime...and the faster they'll become a great sleeper!
SNOO mimics the rhythms we use when we cradle babies in our arms.
To quickly soothe your baby's fussing, try boosting SNOO to Level 1 or 2.
(Press and hold the Activity Button for 5 seconds to go to the next level...
or use the App). Note: SNOO doesn't calm babies who are hungry, bored,
or uncomfortable.
Feeding...helps babies sleep better at night.
Offering a few more daytime ounces can boost nighttime sleep an extra hour or
more. Consider waking and feeding your baby when daytime naps last more than
2 hours. Some parents find it helps to offer 2-3 feeds in the early evening...and a
final meal—a dream feed—between 11pm and 1am.
