Quick answer
Use the Rockit Zed by placing it securely on your baby's cot mattress, then selecting one of six vibration levels and adjusting the night light brightness as needed.
Why vibration and light matter for baby sleep
Babies often settle better with gentle, rhythmic motion and dim lighting. The Rockit Zed recreates the low-frequency vibrations of a moving car, which can help soothe fussy infants in their cot. The built-in night light is also handy for late-night feeds without fully waking your baby.
Choosing the right vibration level
Zed offers six different vibration intensities. Start with the lowest setting and increase only if your baby seems to need more stimulation. Too strong a vibration can overstimulate a sleepy baby, so it's best to begin gently.
Step-by-step guide to using the Rockit Zed
- 1. Prepare the device: Remove the Rockit Zed from the packaging and ensure it is fully charged using the included USB cable. A full charge takes about 2-3 hours and provides several nights of use. Don't skip the initial charge; using it on low battery may cause inconsistent vibrations.
- 2. Place Zed on the cot mattress: Position the Zed flat on the mattress under the fitted sheet, near your baby's lower back or legs. Make sure it is stable and not near the edge where it could fall or be kicked. Avoid placing it directly under your baby's head or face to prevent overheating or discomfort.
- 3. Select a vibration mode: Press the power button once to turn on the device. Then press the vibration button repeatedly to cycle through the six levels. Start with level 1 (gentlest) and increase if needed. A common mistake is starting on a high level; always begin low and observe your baby's reaction.
- 4. Adjust the night light: Press the light button to cycle through three brightness levels plus an all-night mode. The all-night mode keeps the light on at a very dim setting until morning. For sleep time, use the dimmest setting or all-night mode. Bright light can disrupt your baby's sleep cycle.
- 5. Set a timer (optional): The Zed does not have a built-in timer, so you will need to turn it off manually once your baby is asleep. Alternatively, you can leave it on all night if your baby needs continuous soothing. If you leave it on, check the battery level in the morning and recharge as needed to avoid a dead battery the next night.
- 6. Clean and store properly: Wipe the Zed with a damp cloth if needed. Do not submerge it in water. Store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid using harsh cleaners or alcohol wipes as they may damage the plastic casing.
