Who do you think is right? My mum who says we should have a dim light
in the room so my son can see around before going to sleep, or me who
thinks near darkness helps get the baby to sleep and is better during
the night anyway?

DS had a light in his room that dims slowly over 15 minutes until it's off.
We used it for awhile when DS was having problems falling asleep in total
darkness. It seemed to work and DS didn't need it for long.
