No. Most adults have cues that they use to improve sleep (favorite sheets, pillows, feet tucked in, or sheets pulled free, etc). We can sleep without them, but we prefer not to! Similarly, rhythmic motion is a sleep cue that babies love, 24/7 in the womb. That is why babies sleep best with gentle, all-night motion for the first months. And, why it’s unfair to stop it abruptly at birth.

By 5-6 months, babies are much better at self-soothing. They still need extra sound for at least another year (or longer), but no longer need motion. The SNOO App’s weaning feature lets older infants get used to sleeping without motion and helps parents easily wean babies to the crib at around 6 months.

Ever wonder why parents bounce on yoga balls or take bumpy car rides to calm their baby’s crying? These jolting motions all mimic the womb—and so does SNOO’s jiggle! When a baby cries, SNOO responds with increasing levels of white noise and motion. On the highest level, the bed only moves in quick, tiny jiggles (just 1/4 inch to each side). For many babies, this jiggle is exactly the “magic switch” that turns on their calming reflex!
