10 Of The Best Night Lights For Babies And Toddlers In 2024

Night Light

Night lights have fast become an invaluable tool when it comes to soothing your baby - or toddler - into a settled night's sleep. A good night light will provide a comforting glow to a newly frightened toddler at bedtime and even produce a sleep-inducing light to help newborns get some shut-eye throughout the night.

However, not all children's night lights are created equal.

While some provide their intended function - a comforting light - others come with some pretty impressive bells and whistles that can further assist in creating a soothing environment for sleep. While some are shaped like baby-friendly animals, others are chic enough to be in either a toddler's or a parent's room. The choice is yours! 

What To Look For In A Night Light For Your Child:

Night lights are a nice way to provide a comforting sleep space for your baby at night time. This is increasingly important as they become older and their imaginations start to run wild. Like with most things relating to your baby, consistency is always good. So if you place one night light in your baby's room, it's a good idea to try and keep the same night light as they grow into toddlers, so that it feels familiar to them.

Different Kinds Of Night Lights:

When you begin your search for the perfect night light, it's a good idea to research what's out there and assess your baby's sleeping needs, to determine what kind of comforts they may need to help them sleep.

Cute night lights:

When we say 'cute', we mean perfect for a child's bedroom and a good fit within whichever theme you've decided to go for. Think a slightly illuminated puppy, or a soft glow star, twinkling just enough to provide some soothing light to your baby's room. 

Humidifier night lights:

Some night lights also double as humidifiers. They emit a warm glow, and have the potential to have essential oils and water added to help purify the air, or induce stress relief, help with a stuffy nose, or soothe a queasy stomach.

Wall night lights:

These night lights are great for providing just a subtle spot of lighting in one part of the room. As they plug in directly to the socket they don't need to run on batteries, and can be used all night long without fear of turning off.

Ceramic night lights:

Ceramic night lights are a chic way to provide a cute-look night light without bright pops of colour. This style of night light fits well within a Scandi or minimalist style of nursery very well. Mostly they run on batteries and could feature fairy lights inside the ceramic casing, which is often dotted with holes that emits a subtle light into the space.

Musical night lights:

Some night lights on the market also double as a white noise machine, emitting lullabies, or a heartbeat, or light rain, which can provide a calming environment for sleep, as well as keep out exterior noise. Win win!

Cordless night lights:

Night lights that run on batteries are said to be less of a hazard due to the absence of the cord. However, the problem may be that the light could run out of battery power in the middle of the night.

Real Customer Reviews:

"Mr 3 would go to bed fine, but wake up during the night and end up in our bed. This had been going on for months. Enter Duski night light from My Night Light. GAME CHANGER. Mr 3 has spent the entire night in his bed since we introduced his ‘polar bear’. He decides the colour we set it on and that is it. I don’t see him again until morning. I don’t have enough words for the change this has brought to our lives. Amazing product. Buy it now!"

"I bought a Duski night light for my 2 year old and she LOVES it! We keep it on all night for her so the function of dimming the light down is fantastic. And we take it everywhere with us. It comforts her when she is away from her own bed."
"I had done some research that stated that you should not have a white or blue light on at night while kids sleep as it inhibits the sleep inducing hormone melatonin. Nearly every light I was looking at had a white light. Your lights are perfect as they allow me to change the light to red or amber while she is sleeping."
"I highly recommend your night lights! We think they are the perfect addition to a child's bedroom."

Real Reviews:

"So when it comes to night lights, there's a lot of mixed messages and ideas on what's best and which ones might actually help your little ones still get some sleep and not feel like they're sleeping in a disco! Recently I was faced with a new situation where I was moving my then 5 month old into a room with her 3 year old big sister. One child sleeps in complete darkness, one likes a night light ... cue my anxiety about making this work. So I got a hold of the Bella Comfort Lamp from Rochilou and it has helped make the transition super easy."
"It has an option to plug it into the wall or use it remotely (for a very long time before it needs recharging I might add) and it has 3 easy to use settings - low warm light, brighter warm light and a slow transitioning coloured option. We use all 3 at different times and it doesn't throw so much light that if you turn it on in the middle of the night you are blinded by the light! Winning. But my favourite feature is it is a soft silicone mould, meaning my little ones are able to pick it up and turn it on and off, play with it as they like and I don't need to worry about it smashing or burning them as it never gets hot! 100% Highly Recommend." - Alexandra 12, July 2023
