  My baby tends to kick her legs up and wiggle around while she?s sleeping. When she does this sometime it loosens her diaper and the Snuza comes off her skin or moves positions. This will set off the alarm. I haven?t been using it because of this reason.

  This could definitely be it because she is wiggling all over the place now that she's not in her swaddle sack. Ugh, I loved using it and I hate to give it up! But it's supposed to provide peace of mind, not wake up my baby.

  We never really swaddled, and we use the Snuza. I just dress her in a long-sleeved plain white onesie underneath her sleep sack (sometimes footie pants, sometimes not, depending on temp), and that seems to hold in onto the diaper. It's gone off exactly twice in almost five months- both times because DH put her diaper on too loosely:) try that, maybe?

  Once we stopped swaddling Jack (we had to, he started rolling to sleep on his tummy) we had to position the Snuza on his side because I didn't want him to be uncomfortable sleeping on it.

  At the beginning we had some false alarms because sometimes the way he is on his side, or even just the movement was making it come loose.  So I started taping it to his diaper with medical tape.  I also make sure the diaper is snug.  We still get the occasional false alarm but the tape works wonders.  I'd also say that a onesie may help hold it in place.

  When Madison was first born, I could not for the life of me get it to fit on the diaper and I would dress her in a long sleeve onesie and pants and clip the Snuza to her pants. 

  I wanted to start using sleepers when she got a bit bigger and when I could get it on her sleeper, I was getting so many alarms it was concerning.  I do think it was because she is so active and kicking and would pop it up a bit.  Eventutally we ended up using safety pins to pin it to the diaper.  We are double diapering for her hips so that wasn't a problem because we could use the same diaper every night.  But I wanted to be able to just pop it on for naps so we tried it again without clipping.  We find now that we can clip it on and get it to stay but we are still using 2 diapers so it has something thicker to grab onto.  I think we've had 2 false alarms in the last few months.

  It's already been said, you can position it on her side. The only time I've had an issue with mine (I've never swaddled) is when the diaper is too loose.  You can also try using a stretchy headband around her waist instead of clipping it onto the diaper to keep it in place.  I've done that a time or two when I forgot to put the Snuza on before she fell asleep.  You can also call their customer service if you think it is malfunctioning.  They are awesome.  Your Snuza should have come with a warranty, so if it is broken they will replace it.  You can find the # online at www.snuza.info or send them a message on their facebook page www.facebook.com/SnuzaUSA
