Nightlights are not merely an essential baby safety product, they are also very useful for Mum and Dad too - especially at feeding time when you do not aim to entirely arouse your baby up, a nightlight will help with this. Nightlights give off a slight soothing light for your baby or child while sleeping.
Many types of nightlights are available in australia including amusing and decorative lights in the appearance of animals or humorous characters, and completely automatic nightlights that understand to turn on in the dark and off and when the sun is up.
Nightlights additionally provide parents a way of checking on your sleeping baby without turning on the room light and probably waking their baby.
There are several possible negatives to nightlights though. A recent study by the University of Pennsylvania Medical School found that babies under the age of two years old, whose parents used nightlights, are five times more likely to get myopia compared to other babies or toddlers who slept in a room that was dark.
In fairness to parents who use nightlights the study does not prove night time nightlights that are used during early childhood is a direct cause of myopia, parents may wish to consider the study on baby safety when deciding whether to use a nightlight or not - please keep in mind though that this was just one study and although it did have interesting findings they were not conclusive as the sample set was not large.
