![]() The majority of the families that I am working with and who are attracted to my content are not people who are co-sleeping with babies between them. So not only is the Dockatot being poorly advertised, they are telling you the only way to use this for sleep is if you’re supervising them while they’re napping on the floor or in your bed with no covers, pillows, or soft objects. ![]() ![]() That’s what I want for your baby-the safest possible sleeping environment. Surprise! I am also not an advocate for co-sleeping as the American Academy of Pediatrics has determined the safest place for babies is in their crib. The only way they want your baby to be sleeping in the Dockatot is if you are watching them with supervised napping, or if you are co-sleeping together. Not once do they recommend that you use the Dockatot for sleeping in their own crib. It’s only supposed to be used as Dockatot “suggests” at the very beginning of their safety guidelines for lounging, supervised napping, tummy time, changing diapers, cuddling, and playing. The Dockatot is Not For Use in Cribs or BassinetsĪnd then of course I know because I’ve been in your home, some of you are using the Dockatot in the crib and most people just don’t know that you’re not supposed to use it in the crib. They’re reposting pictures on their Instagram of you using the Dockatot with blankets or with soft objects around them. So my biggest problem with the Dockatot is that it is completely false advertising. They are specifically taking pictures against what Dockatot has suggested. And obviously, these are influencers that Dockatot is sending their product to. The problem is, and this is my own personal opinion when you go on Instagram or Facebook, you see people using their Dockatot in the crib, being styled with swaddle blankets and stuffed animals. False Advertising with the Dockatot Improper Use of the Dockatot in Influencer Ads It is also why we warn that blankets and pillows should not be placed in a Dockatot with a baby. This is why when it comes to an infant’s sleep environment, bare is best. There have been incidents involving other products where babies have suffocated after becoming entrapped between a soft product and the side of a crib/cot, cradle, bassinet or play yard, and incidents where babies have suffocated on soft bedding like blankets and comforters. There is a concern that an infant who can scoot or crawl out of the Dockatot might get entrapped between the side of the crib/cot, cradle, bassinet or play yard. The Consumer Product Safety Commission has cautioned that babies should be placed in a bare crib without any additional bedding, pillows, or blankets. Q: Can I use my Dockatot in a crib bassinet or play yard?Ī: No, the Dockatot should not be used in a crib, bassinet, or play yard. However, once a baby is capable of rolling over from back to stomach and from the stomach to back, the infant can be allowed to remain in the sleep position he or she assumes. As the best evidence suggests, babies should be placed on their backs until one year of age. It should only be used while babies are on their back. This is straight from their website: Q: Can you use the Dockatot with a baby on their tummy?Ī: The Dockatot Deluxe Plus is meant for babies zero to six months. The biggest issue with the Dockatot is how they portray their product online and how it is used on social media platforms like Instagram. But let’s make a game plan to ditch this! Now, if you are using the Dockatot currently, you do not have to go out and burn it right away! Yes, I believe it’s best to get rid of it. So my guess is that it’s going to be banned in America really, really soon. In fact, if you didn’t know, it’s already been banned in certain countries. I have super strong feelings about this product. ![]() And there, on the shelf, was a $175 pillow otherwise known as the Dockatot. The other day, I went to Target to go find a baby shower gift. Is the Dockatot Safe to use with infants? And you might be using the Dockatot as a bandaid to help your child sleep better, but in this blog post and YouTube video, I’m going to share why I loathe the Dockatot. My mission is to solve your child’s exhausting sleep habits, safely. ![]()
