Night Light?

KateJuly2013

Do you use a night light in LO's room?

Are they too young for being scared of the dark?

We have one, but it's more to help us see to lay him down or check on him.

We live in the city...there's enough light pollution that no one needs a nightlight!

Yes. It helps LO find her lovey in her crib.

SS- We don't use a night light for him, but his room is next to the back deck.  The lights are always on out there, so a little light comes through the cracks of his curtains.  (I purchased the curtains custom, but measured wrong, so they don't exactly cover the entire window. oops. )

We do not.  This past spring, while E and I were visiting my parents, my mom put one in the room for her because my nieces need them.  E couldn't sleep.  Kept sitting up, pointing at the light and saying, "No.  No.  No."

Our monitor is the angel care monitor that has the blue ring nightlight on it so we use that. It just sits on the floor. We have room darkening shade so if we didn't have the nightlight, it'd be way to dark for him.

Both of my LOs don't like the dark so we have one and they hate it if it's not on.

Yep, mostly for me because I'm 5 and scared of what might be looming in the dark.

Nope. Team dark room here.

I leave the blue light on her monitor on low, otherwise it's too dark to see anything.

I definitely didn't leap into bed last night just in case there was something under it. Nope, not me.

No because she's still in our room. Nikita on the other hand has a lamp on all night. 25 watt bulb.

I try to keep the room dim when we are putting on jammies and bedtime stories so we use a nightlight during the bedtime routine but I turn it off after I put her down in her crib.

SS - his humidifier has a dim light projection of stars that we turn on.

No light & if someone dares turn on a light anywhere near, they are in trouble!!!

No light. Only if she requests one when older. I have had such a struggle with both of my step kids when they were younger about which lights need to be on and what angle the door needs to be cracked at and which nightlight they prefer in which outlet 8-} . I'm not looking forward to it with Lily, so I won't voluntarily introduce one... Only if she decides she needs one.

Dear Kate, 

Night lights are proven to cause cancer. Proven!

We must get on this. We currently leave his door about 1/3 cracked with the neighboring bathroom lights blazing all night, so we can see if we need to go in there and so he can see to find his binks. This is not exactly efficient....

We use a very very dim one and yes, we started using it because he was scared every time he woke up in the dark... I think it was because summers are very bright here so every time he'd wake up there would be some light in the room even in the MOTN... so I'm not sure if he got scared because he was used to seeing some light and there was a change in scenery or it he's really scared of the dark.
