7 adorable night lights babies and toddlers will love

When it comes time for your little one to sleep on their own, whether that be in their own nursery or their “big-kid” bedroom, they may approach it with some trepidation. The dark can feel scary to children sometimes. But we can’t have them sleeping with a bright light on — that will negatively affect their sleep pattern. The solution? A good night light that will throw off some decent light, but won’t be too bright that it will keep your child awake. Here are some great night lights for toddlers that will look right at home in any nursery or bedroom.
