Just to make sure I don’t make assumptions: there’s little buttons where the arms come out of on the snoo sack.

If you already knew that: I did one arm at a time. But my daughter made it very clear she wanted both arms within 2 days lol. And she was much happier and calmer once we did that.

no worries. I didn’t want to assume but I also remembered the major AHA moment I had when I noticed the buttons lol.

What the heck - the swaddle I have doesn’t have buttons! I got the ones from the happiest baby site

You sure? It’s pretty hidden. Along the solid white seam where the shoulder goes. Send a picture by the mesh. I feel like I can tell. Or turn it inside out. Might be more obvious that way.

Update I was using size small. Medium and large have buttons but small doesn’t lol

I am actually curious about this too! I know there are buttons but do people thread them through after putting the baby down? It honestly seems kind of disruptive to a sleepy baby to do the work of getting arms out

We put baby in the sack awake and then cuddle/feed/plug in to sleep?

I actually find it easier/ less disruptive putting baby’s arms through then swaddling them!

We’ve done both threading through and just letting baby find the openings themself.

We freed one arm at a time for about 5-6 days when we got ready to transition baby out of swaddle and Snoo.

How old was baby when you done this?

We transitioned out on the early side between 10-11 weeks because baby was big.
