![]() Again, this is just my personal opinion, and I respect your opinion and comment. As a first-time-mom, I had no idea newborns could roll over like that from day one, so I didn’t actually discover or use this product until our son was about 3 months old. I figured if he was going to keep rolling onto his stomach, it would be safer for him to be in a 100% breathable bed than in the plasticky mattress that comes with a bassinet. I was terrified of him sleeping in this manner on a regular bassinet mattress, and the Dock-a-tot was a product that was fully breathable, that I felt was the lesser of two evils for my son. In our case, the first day we brought our newborn home from the hospital, he had rolled over (from his back when we placed him in the bassinet) to his stomach and was laying face down. My blog review is based on my personal experience with the product. He still fits wonderfully in the Deluxe size.įor a discount, click this link Here, and you’ll be given a 10% off code on your purchase! Hope you enjoy your Dock-A-Tot as much as we do!

We ended up buying an extra cover so we could still use the Dockatot when this happened, but in hindsight I wish we bought it all together to save on the shipping. We had a few accidents in the middle of the night where our son spit up into the Dockatot and we had to wash the cover. I would also highly recommend purchasing an extra cover for it, as babies tend to like to spit up when it’s least convenient. It would make a great baby shower gift for a close friend or family member if you’re feeling generous. Plus, it comes in a sweet-ass grey chevron design with this really nice green zipper trim on it. It’s a good product and I would recommend it to anyone having sleep problems with their little ones. Overall, it is expensive, I’ll grant you that, but no one said babies were supposed to be cheap. The Dock-A-Tot can also be used in your own bed if you want to co-sleep but are worried about your baby rolling, or you or your significant other rolling onto the baby. We use our Dock-A-Tot in the Halo Bassinest, and it’s a perfect fit, if any parents with the Halo Bassinest Swivel Sleeper are wondering. Because we haven’t had problems yet with him not sleeping long periods, I can’t say for certain whether the Dock-A-Tot is actually success in helping the little ones sleep longer through the night. He sleeps pretty much through the night, with the exception of waking up for feeds every 4 hours or so. I can’t honestly say whether it does or not, because we have been über fortunate that our son has been an awesome sleeper since birth. After that test, we felt 100% confident that our son would be safe in it.īecause the Dock-A-Tot is supposed to be snug around your baby, preventing them from waking themselves up with their startle reflex, it’s supposed to help your baby sleep longer periods and through the night. To both of our amazement, it was indeed fully breathable, and didn’t restrict breathing at all. When the Dock-A-Tot first arrived, my husband put it right up to his face, and smushed his face into it, and took a deep breath. ![]() Our son definitely prefers to sleep on his side (rather than his back), so the Dock-A-Tot has been a peace of mind for me, being the paranoid first-time mom that I am. Because of its 100% breathable material from Sweden, it is supposedly completely safe if you have a tummy or side sleeper on your hands. It is also supposed to make your baby feel snugly secure, thus preventing unnecessary wake ups from their natural startle reflexes when they are sleeping. The Dock-A-Tot is supposed to also help transition your baby from co-sleeping with parents in their bed, or from a bassinet into their own bed when they grow older. There are 2 sizes available for the Dock-A-Tot, the Deluxe size which is for babies 0-8 months, and the Grand size, for infants/toddlers 9months to 3 years of age. It has multiple purposes: it can be used as a place for your baby to sleep/rest, lounge around, play, and to do tummy time. It’s a totally breathable lounging station for your baby. The Dock-A-Tot is every parent’s best friend. ![]() The Dock-A-Tot can be opened at the bottom, allowing your baby to easily transition into a larger crib or bed ![]()
