Hi everyone!,
I received both the DockATot Deluxe & Grand about a month ago and I wanted to share my experience with them and why I love them so much.
If you have never heard of DockATot, it is a multi functional lounger & co sleeper. Babies can lounge, play, sleep, and do tummy time. They have the DockATot Deluxe which is for ages 0-8 months & the DockATot Grand for ages 9 – 36 months. It is handmade in Europe, and it’s 100% cotton.
My son Noah for the first 2 months of his life, would only sleep in a Rock n Play. I really wanted to get him out of sleeping in it because I really didn’t like he stayed in that positions for so many hours of the day and night. He wouldn’t stretch out much, because that position is more like in a seated position. I have seen the docks online before and I thought that maybe it was all just hype. Why would babies really sleep any better in it? Isn’t it just a pillow? Why do so many people love them, and why are they in so many registries. If you are thinking the same thing, read on.
So Noah was waking every 2 hour or so in the Rock n Play. It was getting very tiring, since I was also waking up with him of course! I was so exhausted! I was desperate to try anything to get my son to sleep longer and more comfortable. Since I started putting him in the dock, he transitioned very well and now sleeps 4 hours at a time at night. I think why it works, is that the sides of the dock press against his body to create a feeling of being hugged. It has an ideal micro-climate for babies and tots. So it keeps them nice and comfortable. I also find he settles easier when being put in it, he must feel he left my arms to right back into them. He loves it! So that is a win in my books. Some nights he has even slept 5.5 hours straight. That is a huge improvement.
Now I’m not saying the dock is magic and that it will work the second you use it, but it may! If you have tried everything in the books and you have a baby that has a hard time sleeping, or that only sleeps in your arms try this! Try this and tell me how well it worked for you. I have been recommending this product left and right. I turned into one of those moms that also rave about it. Once he grows out of the deluxe, my plans are too move him up the the grand. You can purchase a dock directly on their site, and using this link will save $10! http://dockatot.refr.cc/R9LB5ZN
Happy sleep dust to you all!
