My wife and I were committed to ensuring the next go around was different!įrom the first night we arrived home from the hospital we began using the DockATot in our crib right on top of our Newton Baby crib mattress. The goal was to sleep our son in his nursery and in his own crib, from day one! I don’t want to jinx things but so far mission complete. Although the DockATot looked like the perfect solution to create a safe and secure sleeping space inside the crib we ended enduring through the first four sleepless months and started sleep training and night weaning right in the crib all at once.ĭon’t get me wrong we are 100% open to trying new essential baby gear and my wife spends hours researching and surfing baby forums seeking out the best advice. Even with what seemed like a pretty steep price tag for a co-sleeper, we were seriously looking at the DockATot Deluxe as an option for transitioning our baby girl from our room to her crib. We were searching for something…anything…that could provide us with some relief. Between my snoring, the baby’s restlessness and crying, and my wife poking me in the ribs to roll over or getting out of bed to feed the baby no one was getting any sleep. We were using a pack-and-play at our bedside and while the entire setup was convenient for night time feeding it was hardly ideal. At the time were really having a hard time with out daughter who, in her first four months, would rarely sleep for any length of time without being held.Īs first-time parents, we were looking for an answer to our prayers and desperate for anything that proved able to get our little one to sleep.

My wife and I debated for quite some time about buying a DockATot for our first child just over two years ago. DockATot gives your baby a cozy, safe and non-toxic environment for sleep and play. DockATot is super lightweight and extremely easy to take with you when traveling. The Grand is a perfect size for toddlers to sleep in at night and is ideal for a smooth transition from the crib to a bed. You can safely use DockATot for co-sleeping, tummy time, play time, snuggle time, supervised naps, as a changing station, or anytime you really need to put the baby down in a snug and comforting spot. The materials used in the design allow for air to pass through effectively, thus keeping baby cool and relaxed when sleeping.DockATot Deluxe and DockATot Grand are engineered with love and care to be comfortable and reliable lounging docks for newborns up to 36 months. A very strong feature which we have seen in our testing both independent and in-house is that an infant does not develop excessive perspiration from body heat with the DockATot®. However, at 7-8 months if your baby turns in their sleep, the pod is breathable so you don’t have to turn him/her back on his/her back.ĭockATot does not harbor heat. Up until 8 months old, you must always place a child to sleep on his/her back. Rolling over is a natural part of a baby’s development, so it should be encouraged during waking and supervised time. Please note that DockATot products are not to be used in a crib or bassinet setting.ĭockATot is doesn’t prevent your baby from rolling over. The firm mattress reduces the risk of suffocation, unlike soft adult mattresses. Yet, the sides are comfy enough for the parent to have his/her arm over the side to pat and reassure. The sides also prevent the parents from rolling on top of the baby. If you co-sleep with your baby, the DockATot features protective sides that facilitate correct physiological back positioning while preventing the baby from rolling out of bed, hitting his head against the headboard, getting caught between the bed and the wall, or wriggling down under the covers.
