The sleep whisperer - Dockatot

Mommy, I am sorry you are tired. 

Jk, I don't care.

- Baby

I have gotten so many questions about the dockatot, so I figured I might as well write a post about my opinion.

Is the hype about the dockatot real? Does it really work? Is it worth the money? Those are the common questions I get.

I blogged about it when O was born. We used the grand size and it worked wonders! I love that you can use it for sleeping, lounging, playtime, tummy time etc. It is perfect for any parent who has already decided to try co-sleeping. Although they're in your bed, your baby has their own little bed as well. They are lightweight and portable which makes traveling a lot easier or just moving from room to room. My only regret with O is that I wish we would've gotten the "Deluxe" instead of the Grand. She was so petite when she was born, so she had more room to move and wasn't as snuggly as I had hoped. She didn't seem to mind though, because she would still sleep in it for 6h straight and nap 2-3h. Needless to say, this is definitely my number one favorite item that I tell everyone about. This doesn't mean that every baby will sleep like a dream right away, it might take some time but I promise it is worth it. Lets be real, sleep deprivation is awful so anything that can help is totally worth it!

I hope baby brother will love it just as much as O did. We will be using it as soon as we get home from the hospital. Writing this just got me super excited, we cannot wait to meet you little one.

Sleep is prime- dock a tot!

Sleep deprivation is serious with a newborn! I swear, everyday there's some new method on how to get your newborn to sleep through the night, or how to get your newborn to sleep longer. Fortunately, Liv has been a pretty good sleeper so far (knock on wood) but she prefers to sleep on her belly. A lot of you may think that's totally fine, but it stresses me out a little. The paranoia in me wants to check her every 5 minutes.  

When I got contacted by Dock A Tot , I was beyond excited! I was even more excited to find out that they were from Sweden!! As I learned about their product, I immediately imagined it helping Liv to sleep on her back. I was right, it sure did! I put her in it for naps and she sleeps great in it. The dock is great in other ways as well; tummy time, play time,  lounging, you name it! The material is absolutely amazing, breathable, soft, the cushion keeps her nice and snug. They have two different sizes, I chose the "grand dock so safari". With the grand size, she will be able to use it up to 36 months, even Noah will sometimes lay in it. They also have the deluxe size, which is 0-8 months. This is great if you choose to rather have your baby sleep in the dock as a newborn. If not, it is a great to use to transition into a toddler bed.

Not only is it stylish, but oh so comfy for your baby. I absolutely recommend this dock for your baby, it will help with sleep, tummy time and snuggles. It is so convenient because it is easily transportable, so much easier than a pack n' play. The cover is washable and easy to put on/off.

Head over to my instagram, because I am giving one away to a lucky winner!! In the mean time learn more about the dock a tot here . I hope you all have an amazing week!
