I put one in the living room during the day as well in the bedroom at night."(Tried and tested by Mumsnetter ToastCrumbsOnAPlate) Our verdictWhen it came to the best night light on our list, the Hatch Rest Baby Rest Night Light was certainly the most versatile choice. It offers a smart and adjustable night light solution to help families from the newborn days right up to early childhood.

My 4 yo still uses it every night."(Recommended by Mumsnet user Topjoe19) Our verdict Some children struggle with nightmares or a fear of the dark throughout the primary years, and a night light can be a great help. What’s important is that the light is dim to keep any effect on the body’s natural rhythms to a minimum. What’s the best night light for babies?

We thoroughly analysed these suggestions, noting the pros and cons of each. There’s no definitive answer to this question, like most parenting conundrums. Your child will likely grow out of any attachment to a night light by the time they are four or five years old, but this largely depends on the child. Our favourite features?

Some active little minds need more help than others to switch off and relax at bedtime. If your child is best soothed by a moving light show, then this is the best projector night light we’ve found.
