Ah, the famous Ewan. If you’re not a parent then you likely haven’t heard of this little fella but, trust us, you’re going to want to take a look. Our favourite features? With a built-in white noise and Bluetooth speaker, you can also play music or calming sounds and control all the functions via remote control. I really like the very simple plug-in Lindam ones. They give off a soft blue light. It’s not very much but enough that you can move around the room without banging into stuff and see faces if close-up. Kids have them and we have them on the stairs too." (Vetted by Mumsnet user PiratePete’sPyjamas) Our verdictPower: Battery-powered | Timer: Yes | Sounds: Yes | Best for: Newborns and young babies Reasons to buy Ewan is lovely, I wouldn't hesitate.

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. Appealing design - Will your child like the night light? Is it a friendly and appealing character design? Can it be cuddled? Will it soothe and calm your baby or is there a risk of it overstimulating and exciting them? Almost a million Ewan the Sheep toys have been sold worldwide and it’s easy to see why. Super cute and cuddly, Ewan replicates the comfort of the womb with a selection of soothing sounds, making this an excellent choice for encouraging sleep. But you can choose the sounds if preferred - the options include white noise, rainfall and even a vacuum cleaner! Power: AA battery powered | Timer: Automatic | Sounds: Yes - white noise and lullaby | Best for: Babies Reasons to buy Because we know that there’s nothing like a recommendation from a real parent, we first headed to the Mumsnet forums to find out which night lights discerning Mumsnet users had bought and rated themselves. We thoroughly analysed these suggestions, noting the pros and cons of each.Adjustable settings - How bright is the night light and can you change the settings to dim it as required? Are there a choice of colours available or is the colour fixed? If your baby is waking for feeds in the night, you might find yourself fumbling around in the dark whilst attempting not to overstimulate them or disturb other family members.

Our favourite features? The Tommee Tippee Ollie the Owl Light and Sounds Sleep Aid not only has a warm glowing ‘heart’ to comfort and reassure, but comes with an innovative cry sensor that activates the light and sounds if your baby wakes. 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 use a Hatch that was recommended here.
