Before he was born, I got this secondhand version off of a parental listserv and set it up before he was born. So I was just sitting there waiting for him to come sleep in it. And the SNU promises that SNU babies tend to sleep one to two hours more Yes, right.

And I spent such a long time, like, trying to troubleshoot the SNU to try to get it to work for my baby until eventually I found that I was really, like, troubleshooting my child. And he had become so entwined with the technology. that I really didn't know where the workings of the machine ended and where my son's sleep patterns began.

And so this technology that's often sold as a tool to help us better understand our kids and get data insights into them, in this case for me, it actually made it more difficult for me to understand what was going on with him and how he really wanted to sleep.

Yeah, I mean, I think that's the thing that I don't want to think about is just that very soon my kids will have access to devices, whether it's at school or in our home, where they can just log on themselves and see what's out there.

There are like a couple of things that I was so grateful to have access to during my pregnancy that I hope will be helpful for my kids.
