The Snoo Sleep Sack is a baby sleeping bag that can be used with the Snoo Smart Sleeper Bassinet. It is designed to keep babies securely on their back, which is the safest sleeping position for them. The sleep sack has a unique design with inner armbands secured by velcro to keep the baby's arms safely swaddled. The bottom edge of the armbands should cover the baby's wrists, leaving their hands exposed. It also has a leg flap that can be secured to the armband. When using the Snoo Sleep Sack, it is important to ensure that the baby's shoulders are slightly higher than the neckline and that the zip is fully closed at the top and bottom. The swaddle's wings should be securely attached to the safety clips in the Snoo bassinet.

What You'll Learn
Fully zip your baby into the sleep sack
To fully zip your baby into the sleep sack, start by laying the SNOO Sleep Sack on a flat surface and unzipping it. Detach the armbands and leg flap. Place your baby on top of the open sack, ensuring their shoulders are slightly higher (about 2 inches) than the neckline. Straighten each arm and pull the inner bands across your baby's chest, securing them closed. The bottom edge should cover your baby's wrists, leaving their hands exposed. If the band is too high, the sack may ride up to your baby's chin.
Next, secure the leg flap. Then, bring the swaddle up and over your baby's shoulders and zip the sack completely from top to bottom. The neckline should now be well below your baby's chin. It is important to ensure that the zip is fully closed at the top and bottom for safe use.
After your baby is securely zipped into the sleep sack, place them in the SNOO bassinet with their feet at the end, nearest to the power button. Slide each elastic wing loop all the way onto the safety clips.
Please note that it is essential to follow the instructions for safe and correct use of the SNOO, which include fully zipping your baby into the sleep sack.

Place your baby on their back in the bassinet
To place your baby on their back in the bassinet, start by making sure that the surface of the bassinet is clean, dry, and free of any loose items or clutter. Lower the side of the bassinet by pressing the button on the side and gently lay your baby down on their back in the centre of the bassinet. Ensure that their head is positioned near the top end of the bassinet, with their feet pointing towards the bottom end. Adjust the baby's position gently, if needed, to ensure they are lying straight and comfortably.
Once your baby is in the bassinet, ensure that their arms are positioned comfortably by their sides. Check that the baby's neck and head are unobstructed and that their airway remains open and clear. You can do this by ensuring that there is nothing covering your baby's face, including their own hands. Make sure that any loose items of clothing, such as a hat, are removed.
Keep the bassinet clear of any items that could potentially cause harm to your baby. This includes soft toys, blankets, pillows, or any other loose items. These items could pose a risk of suffocation or entanglement. Instead, ensure that the bassinet is a safe and clear space for your baby to sleep.
Finally, ensure that the bassinet is secure and stable. Check that the bassinet is locked in place and cannot be accidentally knocked or moved. This will help to prevent any accidental injury or disturbance to your baby. By following these steps, you can ensure that your baby is placed safely and comfortably on their back in the bassinet.

Attach the wings to the safety clips
To attach the wings to the safety clips, first lay the Snoo Sleep Sack on a flat surface with your baby inside. Place your baby on their back in the centre of the bassinet, with their feet at the end nearest to the power button. Then, take the swaddle's wings and slide each elastic wing loop onto the corresponding safety clip on either side of the Snoo. Make sure that the wings are securely attached to the safety clips to prevent your baby from rolling over. This feature ensures that your baby remains on their back, which is the safest sleeping position for infants. The secure swaddle also provides peace of mind for parents and caregivers, knowing that their little one is safe and secure throughout the night. It is important to note that the Snoo Sleep Sack should only be used with the zip fully closed at the top and bottom for safe and correct usage.
The Snoo Sleep Sack is designed to keep your baby secure and comfortable while sleeping. The swaddle's wings provide a snug fit, preventing your baby from rolling over or wiggling free. By attaching the wings to the safety clips, you can ensure that your baby remains in the recommended sleeping position on their back. This feature promotes healthy hip development and has even received the International Hip Dysplasia Institute's seal of approval.
When attaching the wings to the safety clips, it is important to ensure that your baby's arms and legs are comfortably positioned. The arm bands should be snug, covering your baby's wrists while leaving their hands exposed. If your baby prefers their arms out and up, you can use the arm openings and unsnap the buttons. Additionally, make sure that the leg flap is securely attached to the arm band to provide a secure and comfortable fit for your little one.
The Snoo Sleep Sack is designed to be easy to use and provide a safe sleeping environment for your baby. By following the instructions for use, you can ensure that your baby is secure and comfortable while sleeping in the Snoo. The combination of the swaddle's wings and safety clips helps to create a snug and safe sleeping space for your little one. Remember to always place your baby on their back and ensure that the zip of the Snoo Sleep Sack is fully closed before attaching the wings to the safety clips.

Keep your baby's arms swaddled or out
Swaddling is key to good sleep as it helps babies feel snug and secure, similar to how they felt in the womb. When your baby is awake, it is fine to keep their arms out or swaddle them with their arms bent up. However, during sleep, having their arms out may lead to more startles and accidental hits to the face, resulting in more waking.
To keep your baby's arms swaddled, follow these steps:
- Lay the SNOO Sleep Sack on a flat surface and unzip it. Detach the armbands and leg flaps.
- Place your baby on top of the open sack with their shoulders about 2 inches higher than the neckline.
- Straighten each arm and snugly pull the inner bands across your baby's chest, securing them closed. Ensure the bottom edge covers your baby's wrists, leaving their hands exposed.
- Secure the leg flap by bringing it up and over your baby's shoulders.
- Zip the sack completely closed, from top to bottom. The neckline should be well below your baby's chin.
- Place your baby in the SNOO bassinet, ensuring their feet are at the end nearest to the power button.
- Attach the sack's wings to the safety clips in the SNOO to ensure your baby remains safely on their back.
If your baby does not like being swaddled or keeps escaping from the sack, you can try the following:
- Lay a thin folded blanket on the open SNOO Sack, across the area where your baby's upper back will rest, and then place your baby on top of the cloth.
- Introduce a calming routine after securing your baby in the SNOO Sack. For example, play strong white noise in the background, similar to the volume of a shower.
- Try swaddling before feeding to prevent waking a baby who has fallen asleep during feeding and to create a positive association with being swaddled.
At around four to five months, parents can gradually start to transition their baby out of the swaddle. Try letting one or two arms out of the large SNOO Sack through the armholes. If the baby starts waking more frequently (for example, hitting themselves in the face with their newly freed arm), put their arms back in the SNOO Sack for another one to two weeks and try again. Gradually freeing your baby from the swaddle will help them transition to a crib at six months.

Secure the leg flap
Now that your baby's arms are secured, it's time to secure the leg flap. First, bring the leg flap up between your baby's legs and attach it to the arm band. Make sure the attachment is secure. You can double-check by gently tugging on the leg flap to ensure it's properly fastened to the arm band.
Next, pull the swaddle up and over your baby's feet and shoulders. Ensure that the swaddle is smooth and free of any bunching or folds. At this point, your baby should be comfortably wrapped in the swaddle with only their head exposed.
Now, it's time to zip up the sleep sack. Bring the zipper all the way up from top to bottom. Ensure that the neckline sits well below your baby's chin to prevent the sack from riding up onto their face. A good rule of thumb is to have the shoulders about two inches above the neckline.
Finally, place your baby in the SNOO sleeper. Position your baby with their feet at the end nearest to the power button. The SNOO Sleep Sack features special wings with loops that attach to the SNOO's safety clips. Secure these clips to ensure your baby remains safely on their back while sleeping.
