![]() So let's look at the safety concerns of the DockATot: But we've already agreed that that isn't our top priority as parents. ![]() I say sadly because it seems to REALLY help many babies sleep. So is the DockATot safe for sleep? Sadly, no. But when you're searching the web for answers about sleep safety - you probably want to know what the SAFEST sleep options are - those which decrease your baby's risks of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID). Before I get 400 comments on this article, I'll say it right now - YES, there are plenty of babies who have slept in a DockaTot (and other non-recommended sleep environments) who are just fine. Thanks for supporting CanDo Kiddo. See my disclosure page for more information.įirst, let's clarify that when we're talking about sleep safety, we're talking about RISK. This page includes affiliate links, which means I earn a small commission when you purchase products through these links. I only link to products I use or love. In this article I'll be referencing "Safe Sleep Experts." This includes researchers of studies published in peer-reviewed journals, The National Institutes of Health, The American Academy of Family Physicians, The American Academy of Pediatrics, The Consumer Product Safety Commission and other professional organizations. I share this safe sleep information to help you make informed decisions that feel right for your family, not to condemn or shame any decisions you make or have already made. I respect that we do not all have the same contexts and considerations when making decisions about our children. But other people make the same choices I did knowingly and in those cases, they aren’t mistakes. I say “safe sleep mistakes” because I made them unintentionally - my decisions weren’t well-informed. And so I repeat 4 affirmations to myself to turn down my own parenting guilt for decisions that I regret. A combination of a lack of full understanding of certain risks, desperation for sleep, misinformation from friends and blogs has led me to make safe sleep mistakes of my own. and tackle some other frequently asked safe sleep questions.Īnd before you think I'm up on some pedestal of parenting perfection, let me confess my sleep safety sins. "Is the (magical, miracle, lifesaver, sleep-inducing) DockATot safe?" So let's answer the commonly asked question: Your baby's safety is your top priority.Īs important as sleep safety is for babies, there's a lot of misinformation floating around. Other parents swear it's helping their babies sleep (like, a LOT of other parents!) and since so many parents are using it and stores are selling it - it must be safe, right?Īs an exhausted new parent you’re likely so desperate for sleep (or as an expectant parent worried that your new baby won't sleep) that you're willing to overlook a $160+ price tag for some quality zzzz's.īut, is the DockATot really all it's cracked up to be? And, more importantly, is it safe for sleep?!Īs tired as you are by your infant's sleep or lack thereof.Īs worried as you are about getting rest once baby comes.Īs tempting as it is to overlook this fact at 3:30am when every other soul on the face of the earth is sleeping soundly and you are alone and desperate in the dark with a crying baby. ![]() November 18, 1916, anarchists bombed the North End police station.

Buildings were destroyed, cars turned over, and people like myself sticking their heads out the window. I looked to the source of the molasses to validate that it was in fact from the tank, and all I saw was a trail of steel, rubble, wood, and wreckage. I heard ambulance sirens, but they were unable to get close to the scene. I saw a fireman tredding through the thick goo, and placing ladders over the gathered molasses to try to save people. After a few minutes, the screaming died down and I returned to the window. Time after time, we wrote letters to the company about the leaking, but they never sent anyone to fix it.Instead, the tank would receive a new paint job. What could it be?

In the end, the demo didn't completely represent the final product and it did what it was meant to do promote the game, giving players a bit of a taste, and give the devs feedback on things. That gets tiresome after awhile, and so pulling the demo was probably the best. However, it only had 2 hours of natural gameplay, and maybe 8-12 hours of awkward 'sandbox mode gameplay that kept people stuck in effectually the beginnings of the tutorial/newbie stage. The demo in the short term showed that the gameplay loop worked and worked well, making many people wanting to play more of it.

The Times has yet to comment on the controversy. They also posted a poll asking readers if the puzzle’s design was “intentional Nazi imagery or an unfortunate coincidence?” Of the 440 votes, nearly 85% deemed the move to be deliberate. The piece warned that Benjamin “Netanyahu’s government, however, is a significant threat to the future of Israel - its direction, its security and even the idea of a Jewish homeland.” Meanwhile, Jewish media conglomerate Israel National News pointed out that the swastika crossword was published following what they deemed an anti-Semitic op-ed by the Times Saturday, the Daily Mail reported. “Pretty much sums up the for the past few years in regard to Jews and Israel.” “‘Today’s Crossword Puzzle from the New York Times for Hanukkah,” wrote SAFE CUNY, a coalition of City University of New York scholars and students dedicated to the Zionist movement. Some critics accused the newspaper of subliminal messaging given its alleged track record of publishing anti-Israel content. And on the first day of Hanukkah, no less.” The fraught Sunday brain-teaser, titled “Some Theme’s Missing,” had been concocted by Washington, DC-based consulting manager Ryan McCarty, who has formulated 22 other puzzles for the paper. “If the swastika is unintentional, you’d think an editor along the way would have caught it. “Folks are making hay over today’s crossword layout,” criticized another aghast user. What the hell, seconded Keith Edwards, the communications director at Nikki Fried for Governor. “This is the NYTimes crossword puzzle today on the first day of Hanukka. ![]() “Imagine what they would do to someone who did this and was not ideologically aligned with them? I’ll give them the same benefit of the doubt they would give those people … EXACTLY ZERO.” “Disgusting! Only the New York Times would get Chanukah going with this is the crossword puzzle,” fumed Donald Trump Jr. However, astute viewers were quick to point out that the crossword’s silhouette bore an uncanny resemblance to a swastika, a symbol of hate during the Nazi regime. ![]() He wrote that he’d “originally tried to make it work in a 15×15 grid but then decided to expand the grid out to a Sunday-size puzzle with a fun whirlpool shape.” The puzzle’s silhouette was compared to the Nazi hate symbol. The New York Times is being slammed for publishing a swastika-shaped crossword on Hanukkah. “Thrilled to have my first Sunday puzzle in The Times! This grid features one of my favorite open middles that I’ve made as it pulls from a variety of subject areas,” McCarty gushed in a section of the paper titled Constructor Notes. The fraught Sunday brain-teaser, titled “Some Theme’s Missing,” had been concocted by Washington, DC-based consulting manager Ryan McCarty, who has formulated 22 other puzzles for the paper.
