The best night lights buying guide and FAQ
What is the best night light for a child?
The best night light for babies and toddlers will vary from one to another as it will depend greatly on the requirements of the baby.
It is a good idea to opt for a device that can be controlled remotely as this means that you can change it or switch it off without risking upsetting the baby.Â
From the devices that have been reviewed the best one would be the Hatch Baby Rest as it can be controlled from your phone.
Should you use a night light?
Using a night light can be a very useful way to add a bit of light to the bedroom and it can also make it easier for those toilet trips during the night or feeding sessions.Â
What should you look for from your night light?
One of the most important things to look for in night lights for kids is that they emit enough light to be able to find their way through the house or softly light up a room.Â
Lights emissions are measured in lumen and the best night lamps will emit less than 50 lumens.
Coloured sleep lights often work better as they can create a more relaxing atmosphere.
For younger children and babies a device that plays soothing music or nature sounds and features a nighttime projector may help to create a lovely atmosphere for the little one to nod off.
At what age should a child stop using a night light?
Most children will view night lights as a device that will protect them against monsters that they fear come out at night.Â
Depending on the device that you opt for they can be used at the side of the bed or in the hallway to give a little light into the bedroom.
There is no specific age when you should stop using a night light, however, if it is causing more problems, then it may be time to remove it from the room.Â
Before removing the device ensure that the toddler feels confident and ready to sleep in the dark, as this will ensure that they do not fear any harm when it is taken away.Â
Can you leave it on all night?
Night lights have been specially designed to ensure that they do not heat up therefore they can safely be left on all night.
Can a Night light help your toddler overcome a fear of the dark?
One of the most important factors about a night lamp is the amount of light that it emits, as having too much in the bedroom will have a negative effect on the child being able to relax at bedtime.
Being to dark can be enough to scare a child so much that they are unable to sleep all night and a dim light can create shadows in the room, therefore, making the situation even scarier.Â
