Dock a tot weaning

Misty

My other coworker raves about it. We used it for about 4 weeks until I found out a little girl died from using a similar product and it’s not an approved sleeper. Little man was sleeping 3.5-4hr stretches at night in it. I took it out of the halo bassinet immediately and decided to just try to put him to bed in the bassinet without it. Our routine for bed is change diaper, swaddle, breastfeed, hold up for 30min (recommended by pediatrician due to his spit up). He typically falls asleep during the burping part, but when I put him in the bassinet I get 20 min of sleeping baby before he wakes up screaming his head off. I don’t pick him up first but have white noise playing and give him the pacifier. This works for maybe 5 minutes before he wakes again and we start the cycle over again. I’ve been at it (husband changing the diapers) since 2am. It’s now 6:32am and I’m dreading putting him down in the bassinet. I want to cave and use the dock a tot but can’t bring myself to do it when I know the dangers.

Anyone else have weaning from a dock a tot stories? Words of encouragement? My husband and I are just so tired.
