Do you get up several times a night to breastfeed, give a bottle, or comfort your baby? And each time, the same stress: turning on the light without fully waking him up, without waking the other parent, without disturbing the whole house.
Good news: a simple breastfeeding nightlight can change everything. A small gesture for you, a big relief for your nights.
🌙 Why is lighting so crucial at night?
Light directly impacts the quality of sleep. Strong light (ceiling light, classic bedside lamp) cuts off melatonin production, stimulates the brain... and prevents you from falling back asleep.
For babies, bright light can cause agitation, crying, and delay their return to calm. Soft lighting at night is therefore essential.
🍼 The nighttime struggles of new parents
- Turning on the ceiling light... and waking everyone up 😩
- Stumbling around in the dark looking for a bottle or a diaper.
- Trying to put baby back to sleep without lights... mission impossible.
