I have a confession to make. I was a mom that would roll her eyes when another mom would tell me she co-slept. I thought it was crazy. I thought it was absurd. I knew that I would never be that mom. Now do not start bombarding me with negative comments. Anyone catch the key word a few sentences back? I was that mom. Was. Yes. Let me tell you. I have changed my ways. I have fully embraced co-sleeping. What was I thinking? It has created a bond between Finnegan and I that I did not have early on with the girls. Yes I did bond with the girls. But this is different. I have this closeness. It has truly been a beautiful experience.
So what made me change? The DockATot. I can not believe that one product had the power to change my thinking. But it did and that is why I am naming this the #1 product that every mom should own. Now I am not saying that everyone should and will convert into co-sleepers. It works for some and not for others. That is completely cool. Cause you know what? This product is not just for co-sleeping. It is for placing on the couch, on the floor, for tummy time, for playing. The possibilities with this product are amazing. For those that are avid co-sleepers, those thinking about co-sleeping, those that want a safe place for their babies to sleep, or for those that want an overall great baby product, the DockATot is a must have!!
So what is the DockATot? DockATot is a beautifully made, multi functional product that creates a comfortable and snug environment for baby. It truly is a great product. I love that it is lightweight and has two handles to use for carrying. It is great for over night stays instead of lugging around a pack n play. The mattress and bumper is breathable with airflow creating comfort for baby and the material are hypoallergenic! Also there are two different sizes, deluxe and grand allowing for continued use until the age of 2!
Finnegan has slept most of his days in his DockATot. Now that he is getting older, I place it on the floor for him to play and stare at his toys. Also with the bumper this allows for the perfect place for tummy time! During the day when I am done breastfeeding and he falls asleep, I can easily transfer him to his DockATot that is set right next to me on the couch. The design allows for a snug place for him to feel safe. I truly do believe he gets his best sleep in his DockATot.
So now you may be wondering if the DockATot is worth the splurge? I absolutely believe it is. The amount of use you will get out of it is well worth the amount that you pay. Finnegan is in his throughout the day and the DockATot can take place of a number of other baby items that we all invest in.There are numerous testimonies on their website explaining how perfect this product is for babies and for their tired mamas. This only further proves that the DockATot will be a beneficial product for any mama and truly worth every penny! I know I will be definitely buying the grand version for Finnegan!
I am so thankful that I found the DockATot and love that I get to wake up to this face every two to three hours! So whether you co-sleep or not this product is a must have for any new mama!

This would have been so great for #1 especially as a breastfeeding mama. With #2 however, we have #1 climbing into bed with us in the middle of the night most nights and if you’ve ever slept with a toddler, you know that no one is safe from flailing limbs….
This would have been so helpful with my daughter! Instead she practically lived in her swing.
This would have been perfect for my 6 month old when she was a newborn. We co-slept for a few months and I was always searching for something like this, especially for how comfortable it is. She eventually preferred to sleep in a pack and play next to the bed, but I love this! Thanks for sharing 😉
Thank you for reading!
i’ve heard so much about this and i wish i had one when my son was this tiny
Definitely wish I had this with my other two children!
Your baby is adorable. I legitimately want the “deluxe version” for my almost two year old who is still co-sleeping and doing nighttime feedings.
Thank you so much! It has been such a blessing for co sleeping!
I was the same exact way before my son was born! My sister co slept and I thought she was CRAZY!!! Now my 2 1/2 year old is still in our bed and we can’t imagine it any other way!! I NEED a dockatot for this next baby though!!!
I wish I had this when my kiddos where little…. man I wish I had one for me now lol!
Oh, he is just so precious! It sounds like he loves his Dockatot!
Thank you! Yes he does!
I looove DockATot! Such a genius invention and definitely a momma must have!!!
YES! It is the best!
Yes! We had that when my LO was younger and it really does make a difference. We took it with us during traveling to and it helped her adjust to the new place pretty easily. We also took this whenever we would visit our friend’s house. It’s just a shame that she outgrew it pretty quickly.
I love it for traveling! So much easier. I am afraid Finnegan will outgrow his pretty quickly too
This sounds amazing! I will definitely have to try this for our next baby 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for reading! It really is a great product
I’m so sad because we didn’t get a DockATot until Brielle was around 7 months old. I will say that it is still a HUGE help with naps and she sleeps in her Grand every single night. Best product ever!
I am going to have to get the Grand! It has really been a blessing for us!
Love this post! I never intended to cosleep with either of kids, but with breastfeeding, it just worked. And I cannot wait to try the DockATot for our daughter.
Yes definitely so much easier when you are breastfeeding! I can’t wait for you to get yours!
I don’t yet have kiddos myself but this looks super helpful! Will have to keep in mind for the future.
Yes it really is helpful!
I’ve heard a lot about the dock-a-tot. I may need to get one for Josiah!
