Sleeping Soundly: A Review of the Snoo Bassinet for Newborns

As a new parent, getting enough sleep is crucial for your well-being and your baby's development. However, getting a good night's sleep can be a challenge with a newborn who wakes up frequently during the night. That's where the Snoo Smart Bassinet comes in. In this blog post, I'll review the Snoo Smart Bassinet and share our personal experience with how much we love it and how well our baby sleeps in it because let's face it -- it is pricey!



The Snoo Smart Bassinet is a high-tech bassinet designed to help your baby sleep safely and soundly. It uses sensors and built-in speakers to respond to your baby's movements and soothe them back to sleep when they wake up - hence the high price tag. The Snoo also has an app that allows you to monitor your baby's sleep patterns and adjust the settings to suit your preferences.



Our first night home from the hospital, we didn't think anything twice-- feed the baby and immediately place her in the Snoo. I was afraid she was not going to like it, however, to our surprise, she's been happily sleeping in every single night! We've been using the Snoo Smart Bassinet for several months now, and we absolutely love it. Here are some of the reasons why:

  1. Our baby sleeps better: The Snoo has been a game-changer for our baby's sleep. It responds to our baby's movements and soothes them back to sleep, which means we don't have to get up as often during the night. Our baby also seems to sleep more soundly in the Snoo.

  2. It's safe: The Snoo is designed to promote safe sleep practices. It has a swaddle that keeps your baby on their back and prevents them from rolling over. The bassinet also has mesh sides that allow for good airflow and visibility. As a parent, safety is at the top of the list -- especially when you had a NICU baby! Sanity is costly and we were willing to pay for it!

  3. It's easy to use: The Snoo is incredibly easy to use. We simply swaddle our baby, place them in the bassinet, and turn it on. The app also makes it easy to adjust the settings and monitor our baby's sleep patterns. I love the app because it notifies you if you need to check on the baby after trying to put them back to sleep. I also love that I can turn it off or on from my phone AND it has a motion limiter and weaning option which helps with the rocking levels once you're ready to start transitioning into the crib!

  4. It looks great: The Snoo is sleek and modern, and it looks great in our nursery. Our house is J apandi style so the Snoo fit right into our style-- I mean it's beautiful!

  5. Customer support: The customer support from Happiest Baby (the company that makes the Snoo) is fantastic. They provide plenty of resources and support to help you get the most out of your Snoo. Plus, I love getting tips through the app on how to successfully use all of the tools the Snoo has to offer!

Overall, I highly recommend the Snoo Smart Bassinet. It's a bit pricey, but for us, it's been worth every penny. Note: Try looking for it on Facebook marketplace! It's helped us get more sleep, and our baby seems to be sleeping better too. If you're looking for a high-tech bassinet that promotes safe sleep practices and helps your baby sleep better, the Snoo is definitely worth considering.


xo, Taira!
