Sleep is as important for children's bodies as food. When you have your first child, usually no one prepares you for the lack of sleep during the night. As the baby grows, he starts to stop waking up at night because of hunger, but he can wake up because of the fear of the dark.
When you get to sleep through the night again, the little ones with their night light, you can declare yourself victorious. Your entire home enjoys the benefits of an uninterrupted night's sleep.
Night light - one of the most practical accessories for children
There are many details that can help your child sleep better, and the night light is one of them, because it ensures continuous peace for the little one, throughout the night, creating longer sleep intervals.
Night lights are one of the few truly necessary accessories for new parents. Experts recommend that babies be woken for food every two to three hours during the night, in the first weeks of life. Even after this period, most infants and children will need to be changed and comforted regularly, throughout the night.
Turning on the bright light bulb during feeding is a dramatic stimulus for the little one, which can damage his sleep health, as well as that of the parent. Instead, a night light with a warm, adjustable light or a plush toy with diffused light can be of real help.
Reasons why the night light is beneficial
Doctors suggest that the night light can stimulate a baby's brain development
The American Optometric Association recommends that parents leave a night light on in the baby's room to stimulate visual development, especially from birth to four months of age.
The night light is useful for small children who start to have nightmares
Often, between 2 - 4 years old, some children develop a fear of the dark, and a night light in the room can help them feel safe, fall asleep more easily and not wake up at night many times.
Parents and children can walk more easily through a dimly lit room
A diffuse light source on in the room can be helpful for children who wake up to go to the bathroom or for the parent who comes into the baby's room to see why he is crying. In addition to the development of vision, night-watch lamps are practical to maintain a soft light in the room, useful for feeding the baby or changing diapers.
Strong light during the night and melatonin production
Exposure to strong light at night blocks the production of the sleep hormone melatonin in 99% of adults and children. Melatonin is responsible for the quality of our sleep and is linked to a number of health and immunity functions. A 2011 study found that "compared to dim light from a night light, exposure to bright room light before bed can significantly suppress melatonin." The night light in the baby's room is absolutely necessary in its first months of life, but most parents do not use the right type of light or default to the strong bulb in the room.
