Is the Dockatot worth it?

Question

Answer

Babies should be put to sleep on their backs in a firm, flat, designated sleeping space with no extra padding or accessories.

Answer

Just as everyone else said... they aren’t considered safe because your baby can suffocate on the padding. I wouldn’t risk it, personally.

Answer

A who?? What's that?

Answer

The dock-a-tot is sleep approved. I would not use it for a baby who can roll but we had great success with our “nest” for the first 5-6 months. It made sleeping out of the house and transitioning to the crib super easy!

Answer

They’ve been proven not safe and somehow they still sell them.
You don’t need one.

Answer

I have had issues with my last two babies not sleeping. if this baby is the same way I am going to look into getting a extra soft mattress that fits his bassinet. that is safe, right? I thought about the doc a tot at first, but I would get one of the other options first, that are cheaper on Amazon. kakiblin brand for $40. not to sleep but just if I want him to lay on a lounger near me. I saw a video on YouTube about a mom to had all the expensive ones and her baby preferred the kakiblin.

Answer

I really want one... but the need to have a safe sleeping baby is above my want so that's why I'm not purchasing one. I don't personally feel like it's safe, and it does go against the rule of no padding.

Answer

I asked my pediatrician about it because so many mamas swear by them. After all, there are a ton of “rules” for new babies and it’s hard to not bend some of them in moments of extreme sleep deprivation. Unfortunately he said this was one product he would stay clear from. Basically the sides of the dock-a-tot are like bumpers, which are another big no-no, except they are a lot closer to the baby so a greater risk for them to accidentally turn/suffocate. While the risk is probably minimal, it’s still there, so it would be up to you if it was one you felt comfortable taking.

Answer

They have cheaper ones out there that have mesh sides I would trust those a lot more then I would these
