What’s everyone’s opinion on the Snoo? Is it worth the money? Would you get it before the baby is born or wait?

I just started renting it literally weeks ago for my baby at 5 weeks, impulse order in the middle of the night when I couldn’t get him down. Lol. It’s been about two weeks now and I have seen increasing sleep hours from him.

Worth it. I bought it at 2.5 months, don’t think it’s worth it before then because of how often you have to pick them up.

You can rent them now - seems like a good option.

I disagree, I’ve been using it from birth and have a 4 week old who is sleeping 4.5 hour stretches overnight. I think he’s a decent sleeper, but you can clearly see on my Snoo logs where it helps link sleep cycles.

Worth it - I also had a night nurse 3 nights a week and still glad we had it

So unpopular opinion here I guess, but we are using it for #2 and she doesn’t like it! Sleeps better in the regular bassinet we used for #1. I don’t think she likes the motion or the swaddle. Really glad we rented it.

Have you tried double swaddling? We use the Ollie under the Snoo swaddle and it works great. My baby similarly hates the Snoo swaddle. Also turn on motion limiter!

Hey ladies. I had a miscarriage July 2021 and my cycle started back up not long after. Then in January it just stopped. It’s been 3 months without my period and not sure what could be causing it (I’m not pregnant). My diet hasn’t changed and neither has my activity. I run marathons but I’ve been doing that for years now and it’s never impacted my period prior. I have an appointment to see my OB in a week but wondering if any of you experienced this.

Curious about thoughts on on discount points (I think I’ve already read every article on Google). I am refinancing my personal residence (future rental) as well as a rental property. The mortgage brokers discourage me from spending a ton on points (rolled in, not up front). In some cases, it’s a 16 year break even. I get that’s a very long time to break even, but I have no intention of getting rid of the properties and doubt rates will drop much below current. Max breakeven point for you?

Not sure if this has been discussed before — my new employer's policy doesn't allow me to participate in their 401k plan immediately, only after 90 days. Wanted to see if this is a common practice (first time for me), and if your employer compensates you in any way for the lost savings opportunity.
