I received a DOCKATOT Deluxe in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. This post contains affiliate links.
Now that I’m past the halfway point, we are getting down to business for our new little arrival. Since I’m now 40, I had all the genetic testing done this time. My husband was a bit worried reading all the increased chances of genetic issues with a baby when you’re a mother of “advanced age.” I had all the blood work done over the Christmas holidays, and they gave us the option to know the sex of the baby, too.
I had to spend the entire holiday season waiting for that phone call. I was a nervous wreck! But, finally I got the phone call last week that everything was perfectly normal AND if we were having a boy or girl. We waited to tell the kids with a little gender reveal. Here’s the quick little video:
So….I’m a little surprised it’s a girl! I haven’t had near the morning sickness I did with my last one, so I thought for sure this was a boy. I’m perfectly happy with a girl as pink is my favorite color! My poor son, who will now have three sisters, was really, really hoping for a boy. I told him having three sisters will just make him a wonderful husband and father some day.
Now we’re gathering baby supplies, and one of the first ones I could not wait to get is a DOCKATOT. I chose the Minty Trellis color, and I just love it! It’s the one baby essential I knew I could not live without. It’s so versatile in that it’s a multi-functional lounger, co-sleeper and playtime lounger.
They have two sizes available. We have the DOCKATOT Deluxe which is for babies 0-8 months. They also have the DOCKATOT Grand for babies 9-36 months, which can also be used to ease the toddler transition from co-sleeping to their own bed!
We have co-slept with all of our babies. I have exclusively breastfed all of them well into toddlerhood and part of making breastfeeding so easy and convenient is having my baby right in the bed with me. We’ve tried other systems with previous babies, but I have to say I love the DOCKATOT features. It’s definitely going to make me feel safe and let me sleep better when she’s a tiny newborn.
They are designed in Sweden and handmade in Europe from breathable, OEKO-TEX certified, all natural, 100% cotton. It’s the perfect micro-climate for babies and toddlers.
I’ll be sharing an update when the baby arrives and show it in action with her. I can’t wait! Not only is it perfect for the bed, it’s also a great place to change a diaper and to keep her nice on the floor for some tummy time.

My brother and his fiance just had a baby in December. I am going to have to tell them to get one of these.
Congrats on finding out you’re having a girl! Dockatot is definitely a must-have when co-sleeping. I love that the Dockatot is multi-functional and the color/pattern is awesome.
This product looks fabulous and so convenient. I am expecting my first this month so these are the types of things I like discovering. Congratulations on your baby girl!
Wow, I need this for my new grandson, how cute! Thanks for sharing!
My daughter has been thinking about getting a cosleeper for her eight month old daughter, who has started wanting to sleep in their bed every night. The Dockatot Deluxe sounds awesome for that.
Dockatot looks like an amazing product for new moms who want to cosleep. My niece, who is expecting, would probably love one!
I love this! I wish I had this when my kids were infants. I really think it would have come in handy so much during those early months.
Congrats on your soon awaited little girl and I loved the way you told the kids. It must have been nerve racking for the both of you waiting on test results. The Dockatot seems like a great item to have with a little one. I love that multifunctions it can be used for too. Thanks for sharing this awesome baby must and your fantastic news.
Congrats on your soon to be little angel! That’s fabulous! This seems like a great “bed” for the little one for co-sleeping. It helps protect the little one at night 🙂
I have heard so many wonderful things about DockATot…I wish this was around when my kids were younger. Sounds like a great thing for families to travel with.
I haven’t heard of this before now but it looks like it would be very essential for a new mom to have for their newborn. It’s great for traveling.
Congrats on having a little girl! I have never heard of dockatot, but I can tell its a must have when you have a little one sharing a bed with you.
Congratulations on your pregnancy! Wow, 3 girls! Busy household. lol. I have one and she drives me batty! I seriously wish I had the DockaTot when my kids were babies. It looks so awesome.
