I was that parent. I bought the top of the line bassinet and the comfy mattress to go in it. I got the cutest crib I could find and the cutest matching sheet set. Little did I know, the first night home would not be what I expected. Baby was not cooperating in her bassinet or crib, and I just couldn't bare to keep her crying, especially when I knew that co-sleeping was huge for us when my son was born. I don't even know what I was thinking assuming baby would not be co-sleeping with my husband and I. Some people may be against it, but it's the way we do things around this house. My son is 11 and still likes to come crawl into bed with us and we enjoy ever single minute of it.
My goal became finding the perfect co-sleeper that would protect my baby while we sleep together and everyone is happy and that when I found the DockATot. The DockATot is an in bed sleeper to keep your baby safe while you co-sleep. The design of the DockATot is sturdy but soft and keeps baby safe from roll over accidents, and secures her arms so she can calm down quickly when its time for a nap or to rest.
I make sure to keep nothing by her face while she in the DockATot to prevent any suffocation and watch her carefully. My husband and I are pretty light sleepers so we're lucky to be able to hear any little sound she makes. My mind is always on my baby while she's in the bed with us.
I believe I will have a lot of use out of the DockATot and imagine bringing it with us when we travel. Its portable, I bring it around the house with me when I go from room to room or when Im lounging and want my baby near me safely.
The DockATot features a removable cover so you can take it off for frequent washing. There is also a clip so you can change the size of the "pod" for sitting, playing, or tummy time.
Overall, the price of the DockATot is quite high and can be the reason you steer clear of it. I knew about this product for a while and never thought I'd be giving in and forking put almost $200, but in hindsight, I'm glad that I did and I will have many uses for this product.
