Check out this alternative for a fraction of the price 4 moms bassinet
Not as fancy but you can control it from your phone and works great

It's a keeping up with the Jones item. Similar to those $1000 strollers that seem to be everywhere now.

First one loved it and slept through the night with it about 6 weeks after birth.

It’s becoming easier and easier to separate stupid people from their money.

Babies don’t sleep through the night for mainly only two reasons. They’re either hungry or wake up because of a startle reflex. At six weeks, slowly introduce a warm rice cereal bottle right before bed and swaddle / double swaddle that thing like a tight little burrito to prevent them from squirming around.

We had one -
- We stopped using all the functions on the second night home from the hospital.
- Our pediatrician laughed in our face and said "why the hell didn't you ask me first" when we told him we had it (he's younger and very similar to us with young kids).
- We did like the clips and the swaddle things. That system isn't worth 1800 bucks, but it is nice. We used it for the first 6 months, but it was basically just a regular bassinet with clips that looked nice.
- We sold it for 1200 bucks or something as I recall. Hung on to it for a couple of years but didn't use it for the subsequent kids (straight to crib).
Night nurses are a game changer. The SNOO is a shortcut and you have to wean them off of it.

We passed on the snoo for fear of attachment. Have heard once you use it and they become accustomed to it, it’s hard to wean off of it. Plus if you travel anywhere, good luck getting your kid to sleep in a regular bassinet.

Works for us. It was a gift so the price tag didn't matter for us. It isn't magic, but it helps to rock the baby to sleep and soothe them if they whine a little from startling themselves or something. They still wake up if they're hungry or dirty diaper. The Snoo also only soothes with rocking and white noise for like 60 seconds, then it sends a notification to your phone to go get the baby because soothing isn't working.
The resale on them is pretty damn high so you aren't eating the entire cost.
ETA I'll add that it does have a baseline rocking the entire night but it's very subtle. We turned the motion limiter on because the max setting feels like a rollercoaster but I guess babies like that

I had to look it up to see what it was. Our first child, we got up every time the baby cried. Our second and other children, we listened to the doctor and let the baby cry the first few nights after laying them down to sleep. The babies never slept better. Let them cry! Get them if they need to be fed or changed...that's all. It won't last long and you'll be set for years.

Tech wise, the only thing I can really recommend are the breathing wear things from Nanit. Doctors hate those too, but they do help you worry less once they're dialed in.
They now have those pad things that appear to be reliable, so I'd look at that if starting over.

A picture would be nice. My kids are older and I don't plan on having more, but I'd still like to see new things compared to what us older parents had. I could have spent this time to look it up, but I'd rather spend it pointing out improvements for your poor thread.
