Light so toddler can look around at night?
Until recently my 2 year old son has been a perfect baby; we put him
to bed at around 8pm and he would sleep quietly right through to 8am. Now though he's up and restless until nearly 9pm (perhaps we need to cut out his afternoon nap) and when we put him to bed he lies awake screaming for about 15 mins before dropping off to sleep. Once asleep though we don't hear from him again until 8am. I'm not particularly bothered about this as during the day he really enjoys playing with us and obviously doesn't like being put to bed now. My mum however (my son's grandmum) says that as the baby is lying awake for longer at night, we should put a small light in his room so he can look around and play with toys in his cot until he goes to sleep. I don't know if this is a good idea or not. I prefer him to sleep in darkness if he can and also so that we don't have to disturb him by going in later and turning the light off. 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? Thanks, Ken |
