Their entire world was your tummy and coming into the big wide world is scary for them. They call it the 4th trimester. Some babies aren't happy unless being held and that's how it should be!
And as for the dockatot it's meant to be inside a crib or bassinet. The point of it is to make the baby feel more safe and inclosed. Putting it in the bed is very unsafe. What is the other option? The floor? My son had colic and cried a lot. I always wondered if it was my fault because I was breastfeeding. He was also small. He is still small and a year old and it had nothing to do with my milk he is just a little boy.

You're totally wrong about the dockatot...
From their website:
Is DockATot™ suitable for cribs and/or bassinets?
No, DockATot™ is not intended for use in cribs or bassinets. DockATot™ Grand can only be used in a toddler bed or big kid-sized bed, once the child is at least nine months old, and then only placed at a height that allows the child to safely descend on his own.
Can the DockATot™ be used for co-sleeping (bed-sharing)?
We at DockATot™ recognize that many people believe strongly that infants and young children should never sleep with adults in their bed while others believe—equally strongly—that such co-sleeping provides valuable emotional benefits. Our founder is a passionate bed-sharer and co-slept with both of her boys when they were infants, using the dock. When used in an adult bed properly, DockATot™ is safe for co-sleeping. Be sure to follow these important instructions: DockATot™ should always be placed in the middle of the bed (not near the sides) and at the top of the bed during co-sleeping. DockATot™ and its protective sides facilitate correct back positioning while preventing the baby from rolling out of bed, hitting his head against the headboard, getting caught between the bed and the wall or wriggling down under the covers. The sides also help prevent parents from rolling on top of the baby. The sides are also comfy enough for the parent to have his/her arm over the side to pat and reassure the baby.
