How do I Put my Baby in the Snoo sack?

Swaddle your baby in the SNOO sack. Open the sack and inner bands and lay your baby down (place your baby’s shoulders 2-3” higher than the neckline of the sack). Close the inner band— very snugly! The bottom edge should cover most of the hand, just leaving the fingers exposed.
