DockATot announces partnership with hospitals to offer comfort to babies receiving care.
The best-selling baby lounger is helping babies feel secure and soothed during hospital treatments, scans and examinations.
ATLANTA, Feb. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- DockATot, the award-winning multitasking baby lounger, is currently being used at three major hospitals throughout the U.S. to help make the stays easier for babies as well as their parents and healthcare providers. The DockATot Deluxe+ offers a flexible, safe and comfortable environment for newborns and babies during examinations, treatments and MRI and CT scans. DockATot was invented to recreate the womb and as such has the ability to lull little ones to sleep and provide a feeling of security with its snug and soothing design.
"The DockATot has been very helpful as a place for the infants to fall asleep comfortably and to make the scanner a less clinical environment," says Heidi McNeilly from the Carolina Institute for Developmental Disabilities.
For this unique partnership, DockATot has created special covers that are MRI and CT scanner compatible to help babies relax and sleep during the oftentimes unsettling scans.
"I have used DockATot in infants for the purpose of non-sedated research MRI scans. These kinds of scans are very challenging for babies older than four weeks and I was able to apply them with success," said Dr. Dusica Bajic, Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology at Harvard Medical School and Boston Children's Hospital.
When used in a longitudinal research project where medical professionals from the Center for Healthy Minds at UW-Madison, Corrina Frye remarks, "The DockATot helped us provide flexible sleeping arrangements for toddlers to help optimize their sleep."
"My vision when creating DockATot was to focus on the well-being and happiness of babies," said DockATot founder, Lisa Furuland Kotsianis. "When my first son was born, I was inspired to create something new in the baby and children's industry. I searched unsuccessfully for something comfy for my baby and at the same time versatile and convenient."
DockATot is now used around the world by parents who trust its superb design, exceptional quality and outstanding functionality for their little ones to sleep, play, and rest in.
DockATot is currently in use at the Carolina Institute for Developmental Disabilities at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill; Boston Children's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts; and the Waisman Center in Madison, Wisconsin.
