It's good to know people do both.</p> <p>I'd forgotten that we have this nightlight (recommended by someone on HB!):<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00200KIAU" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00200KIAU</a></p> <p>It's dimmer than the wall plug-in nightlight we'd been using and lets us see DS's face without making the room too bright. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/use-night-light-with-black-out-shades#post-916011 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 13:52:40 +0000 MsLipGloss 916011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use a nightlight with blackout curtains. I like to be able to see LO (on the monitor . . . even though it has night vision) and for her to be able to get her bearings if/when she wakes up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/use-night-light-with-black-out-shades#post-916005 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 13:51:33 +0000 immabeetoo 916005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use blackout shades and no nightlight. He doesn't need to look around, he should be sleeping! When I go in to feed, I leave the door open so the hall light shines in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/use-night-light-with-black-out-shades#post-915966 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 13:42:16 +0000 Weagle 915966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use blackout shades and no night light. Doesn't seem to bother LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/use-night-light-with-black-out-shades#post-915879 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 13:26:17 +0000 heffalump 915879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use a night light and black out shades. If I have to check on her I like to be able to see her, she's a great sleeper even with the light. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/use-night-light-with-black-out-shades#post-913342 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 15:09:47 +0000 Katrocap 913342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So we just started using blackout shades in DS's room. Should we continue to use the nightlight in his room? The nightlight isn't super bright, but you can still see around the room. With the nightlight off, the room is PITCH BLACK. I just worry about DS waking up and not being able to see a thing. Any thoughts? Thanks! </p>
