Is the Snoo Worth It?
The Snoo Smart Sleeper Has Just Launched in the UK, But is it Worth the Investment?

While I think there were multiple factors that contributed to me having a more positive experience after the birth of my second baby, I also believe that having the Snoo was one of the biggest. A lack of sleep is more than just an annoying, new parent struggle. Poor sleep quality can trigger or intensify feelings of postnatal depression, affect breastfeeding success, increase your chance of developing mastitis, and so much more.
When I think about myself after the birth of my first baby — from my emotional state to my breastfeeding struggle, which included a painful mastitis infection — it makes me wonder how much, if any of it, would have been different had I used a Snoo. I think it's impossible to say for sure, but I do know that the days and nights I cared for my second baby without my husband, even with an early rising, potty-training toddler, I felt more centred and energised using the Snoo than I did during my first postpartum experience.
If you're not sure whether or not the Snoo is a good fit for your family, I highly recommend taking advantage of the 30-day trial period after purchase to see for yourself.
