As long as baby fits width wise, you can continue using it, and keep in mind the fit is intended to be snug to help baby feel secure as they sleep. When my son 0-4 months, we kept it buckled at 8 months he is much longer but still fits in the dock. The bottom of the dock has a buckle that you can leave open or closed depending on the length of the baby. Cats love the dockatot!Īlthough the deluxe is intended for 0-8 months, there’s no reason it can’t be used for longer. Hanging out on his dockatot.Īnd bonus! Multiple members of our family love it. The sides are firm enough that this can also be used during tummy time just place baby over the bumper. He’ll often spend part of his morning in this while I eat breakfast and read him a story. It’s also great for play time and just hanging out. Unfortunately, it doesn’t leave much room in bed for my husband and me, although this may be our bed’s fault rather than his (Our bed is a standard Queen). Usually, I end up using the sides as my pillow so I am always close to him. He sleeps between my husband and I in the center of the bed at the top of our mattress. Grandma’s house, parties, even baby yoga.

We take it with us almost everywhere as it is very portable (it even has handles). I actually woke up before him (from engorged boobs, haha)! Seriously, this thing is amazing! The first night we got it my little man slept 7 hours straight. They are available in two sizes the deluxe (0-8 months) and the grande (9-36 months).
The bumpers of the bed are high and firm so parents are unlikely to roll over the bed. Although the makers suggest baby be placed on their back to sleep, the Dockatot is designed to be safe in all sleeping positions. Both the sides and bottom of it are air permeable, meaning should a baby’s head get turned on one of those, he will still be able to breathe. It also helps with the baby’s Moro (Startle) reflex that can wake some babies up. The DockAToT provides a snug fit for infants for that perfect womb feeling. Or as I call it, my holy grail of baby sleep! Ours even came with sleepy dust DockATot™ provides a cozy, safe and non-toxic environment for tots anywhere they go. DockATot™ is lightweight and incredibly easy to travel with. The Grand is a cozy spot for toddlers to sleep in overnight and is ideal for safely easing the crib to bed transition. You can use DockATot™ for safe co-sleeping, supervised tummy time, play time, snuggle time, supervised naps, as a changing station, or really just any time you need to put baby down in a comforting spot. What’s a DockATot? DockATot… in all it’s glory!ĭockATot™ Deluxe and DockATot™ Grand are designed to be comfy and ultra-reliable lounging docks for little ones ages 0-36 months.
With our son quickly growing, we knew this arrangement couldn’t last much longer.Įnter the DockATot. My husband and I knew this was not an ideal situation, but figured it was more dangerous to have parents trying to function on one hour of sleep. After a few sleepless nights of this, eventually we (I) gave in, and he slept on my chest with pillows propping my arms to hold him in place. At most he would sleep 30 minutes and then wake up. We tried swaddling, putting him down drowsy, putting him down when he was in a deep sleep, vibrating function, lullabies, white noise, everything. The instant anyone put him down he was up and crying. I couldn’t imagine trudging out of bed every few hours to another room, nursing him, and then getting back into bed. I had already decided we would be breastfeeding, and having my baby near me seemed like an easy and lazy way for me to meet his needs during the middle of the night. One of the first baby products on my registry was a cute little swiveling bassinet that sits next to the parents’ bed.
