night light?

MelissaMiso

Sophia just started wanting her door open when she goes to bed. I usually wait for her to doze off before shutting it. She has a dream light and a heartbeat sound maker that shut off after 15 minutes or so. Problem is, we have a small, two bedroom bungalow and DH gets up to get ready or work at 2 am. Door open is really not an option. Plus, on weekends I sometimes get some time to myself before she gets up and her room is just off the living room. The only thing I was thinking might help is putting a night light in her room so it's never completely dark. Any other ideas?

Maybe a flashlight stuffed animal she can turn on if she gets scared? Em has a penguin one she likes but we bedshare so it's not used for the same reason, for her it's just fun.

Our baby monitor has a built in night light, so we kept it in her room even though we don't use the monitor anymore. It's a dull green light that she seems to find comforting. It's a push light so I don't turn it on for her, she turns it on when she wants. She tends to turn it on when we're done reading our bedtime story.

We keep the door shut only until we go to bed, then we open it. DD has a glow worm in her crib with her and a nightlight by the door.

We don't close bed room doors but the boys share a room with a night light plus Nathan has a turtle that put stars on the cieling and Lucas has a glow pillow pet.

We have this odd outlet near the ceiling because the previous owners had installed a tv in that room so we have a nightlight in that outlet.  DS also has a twilight turtle and a starfish projector but he doesn't tend to play with those at night, only during the day.  We need a nightlight for me, so I can see him if he needs something, but we bedshare, either me and lo or dh and lo, we rotate.

We have glow in the dark stars on the ceiling.  They only glow for a little while and she is usually asleep before they dim.
