She kept saying how I’m not a mom yet and have no idea how hard it will be to get my child to sleep and if a dock a tot works I will want it. She kept saying she does what’s best for baby and every baby is different.

She was so offended and refused to believe that it was a dangerous product. I did some research and I shared my findings with her. (I’m 36 weeks) she kept sending me links to dock a tots that were on sale and even offered to get me one as a gift. I am so sorry for this experience you had to go through and I’m so glad your LO is okay! My best friend had a baby 6 months ago and we got into a bit of a tiff because she really wanted me to get a dock a tot like she uses with her baby. This post could have very well saved a child's life. It is so predatory and downright dangerous. Using influencers pictures of their sleeping babies to promote their product and then saying 'it's not our fault your child died because it suffocated, we cant control how the public is using our product' is abysmal. Thank you for sharing this, I wish more people were talking about this fucking death trap. I sincerely hope that you report this incident. They havent done a damn thing to change it. This company KNOWS their product is unsafe, they know babies are dying in it, and they do not care. That is a fucking cop out and children are dying because of it. Promoting safe sleep doesnt mean showing pictures of babies sleeping in your product and then slapping a warning on it saying not to leave baby unattended. The second I saw those things, I was enraged. I will not be sleeping because she misses the dang thing as much as I do.įrom a mother who lost her daughter in a horrifyingly similar manner, I am so so happy that you caught this. I mean it all makes sense, but it was advertised to me as such a safe perfect sleep solution I never even thought twice! I guess I’ll be researching everything now.Īnd not sleeping. They’re apparently no safer than bumper pads. There have been a few SIDS deaths linked to it. They’re not even advised for sleeping At all (which I may be crazy but I’m pretty sure that’s how it was advertised to me was as a cosleeper?) it’s Straight up banned in Canada. I immediately rolled her over and she started gasping and crying, reaching out with her arms.įirst I threw the damn thing off the bed and unpacked the bassinet.ĭock a tots are not as safe as they led me to believe it seems. She hadn’t rolled over completely, but breathing was extremely difficult. Then tonight I reached over and found she had somehow wedged her little face in the corner. I can nuzzle it between my husband and I and keep her (safely) close. She sleeps like an angel for as long as I’ll let her. This is merely my experience and nothing is going to change how I feel about it for my little one! Wether you do it or not, use a dock a tot or not is none of my business and you go mama for doing what’s right for your family. First let me say I know cosleepjng is a very personal choice.
