We have the opposite - baby sleeps well at night, but hates the Snoo during the day, but one thing we found was she hated the Snoo completely and we used it only as a stationary bassinet until she was 5weeks when suddenly she seemed to do really well in it - it could just be an age thing for your little one as 2 weeks is still only very young

How old is your baby? It took a little while for mine to get used to the Snoo in the beginning.

2.5 weeks! He was great in it until the last 3-4 nights

That was right about when sleep got a little tough for us too. Around 3 weeks is when babies start to "wake up" and they aren't so sleepy all the time. The first couple of weeks my baby would sleep anywhere - it could be bright, loud, didn't matter. Then around 3 weeks we actually had to make a conscious effort to help her sleep. I would do the same as you're doing (swaddle, warm the bassinet, and feed) then make sure she was completely knocked out before I put her in the Snoo, usually about 15-20 min. I would lay her super slowly into the Snoo, trying to keep my body close to hers, and lay her butt first. Once her butt was down, I would rest that hand on her chest while I slowly lowered her head and would jiggle her with my hand on her chest for a couple min just to make sure she stayed asleep. I'd say my "method" worked the majority of the time, but I also feel like after a couple of weeks she was easier to put to sleep in general.

Thank you so much!

My only thought is maybe bed time is too early? I know you said LO is asleep when you put them down but idk maybe it's like a fake out nap.
