Toddler boy is scared of the dark, recently he has called hubby into his bed without fail, every night for a cuddle. To be honest, this has had us at our wits end. We want him to sleep, he wants to sleep. It's just that he seems to wake up during those lighter phases of the sleep cycle and it is so darn dark in his room. We have tried leaving the light on with the dimmer switched down low. The trouble with these energy efficient bulbs is that they hum when dimmed. Not good.
As luck would have it, Amanda from the really swanky online store Nubie Modern Kids suggested that Toddler Boy might like one of their Lumilove nightlights. These are available in a range of different animals and their tummies gently light up different colours, red, blue, white, green throughout the night. And the best thing; no batteries, you just plug it in to charge.
Toddler boy received the panda one, which is so cute, I almost kept it for my bedside table. Once charged he took to it in an instant, carrying it around all day with him, it gently cycling through its different coloured lights. He then propped it on his bedpost and STAYED ASLEEP as far as we could tell. The only problem was that as he has added it to his entourage (which includes 2 bunnies and a soft toy dinosaur) there is not a great deal of opportunity for charging it. I have to keep whisking it away at opportune moments.
I think this is the nicest nightlight I have seen. We have tried those ones that stay in the plug, but frankly they don't look very nice and they tend to attract the kids towards the plugs. A lot of adult nightlights get a bit hot and are therefore dangerous for babies and toddlers, this one doesn't. The Grobag egg seems a bit costly for what it is and frankly the Lumilove night-lights are just the cutest little animals you will see. All this for £23.00, which seems reasonable as you wont need to purchase any batteries. If you are struggling to find a nice night-light or an usual present for a baby or toddler this might be the perfect solution.

These are so cute, especially the panda.
I've got an Ikea Spoka light, K loves it!
That sounds really great, we are just looking at a new night light of sorts for Top Ender, so will add this to the mix!
oooh - I will remember that if no2 wants it. We tried one of those night lights that turn into a torch - but then read the instructions and couldn't leave it plugged in over night - so kind of didn't work for what it was meant to do :o(
I like the panda! We got ikea nightlights, they are a little creepy looking to be honest. Prefer the panda myself. Sarah
