Our baby girl has had gas issues since birth and had a very difficult time sleeping and feeling well , in general. My husband had to be away for a week with work. She wasn't sleeping and cried constantly. My Dockatot arrived that week. The day before he came back home from his business trip. We began using it upon arrival and she started sleeping in 4 hours stretches at only 6 weeks old. I think he thought I making up the hideous stories about her only sleeping 4 hours some days. We do swaddle her due to her newborn jerking reflexes waking her otherwise. We love that it is portable so I can place it in her pack 'n play when I want to shower and not worry about her with the pups or move it to her crib for nap time using the baby monitor (which now lasts about 3 hours thanks to the Dockatot) or use it in our bed for co-sleeping. We plan on taking it with us on vacation in the spring to help maintain her sleep routine. I've also found this product is VERY simple to clean!
Prior to purchasing the Dockatot, we tried a cheaper bassinet, boppy pillows, reflux wedge, rock 'n play sleeper, chiropractor, and holding our eyes open with toothpicks to rock her to sleep! Who knew such a simple idea could drastically help our baby sleep?! Love , love , love this product, recommend it to my friends , and will definitely be buying the grand when she's big enough!
