Lamps And Lighting For Nursery

By Darren Hartley


Night lamps for nursery help the baby in his sleep in three different ways. It reassures the baby while in the dark, particularly when he is in a separation anxiety phase. It diminishes the awakening of the baby at night. A timed alarm clock light helps the baby sleep longer effectively.

The secret to the selection of lamps for nursery is choosing one that does what you expect it to do. For one, it must be dim enough that you can't see its light through your eyelids when you close your eyes. For another, it must be bright enough to let you tend to your baby at night without putting on additional light.

The chief function of lamps for nursery is the provision of safety and security to the baby. The dimness of a lamp becomes ideal when it is not disruptive to a sleeping child even when it is kept on throughout the night.

Essentials for the right lighting for nursery lie in its ability to soothe the baby during his sleeping time and its provision of enough glow to assist a parent doing night feeding. The alteration of the amount of light that enters the baby room from the outdoors can be achieved with the installation of blinds.

Changing the lighting for nursery to suit the requirements of your baby can be a matter of placing a number of lamps all around the baby room. Putting table lamps near shelf or table edges need to be avoided. This is especially of consequence once the baby starts to crawl. He is likely to get these lamps pulled over by mistake.

While dimmed lighting for nursery is helpful, parents tend to learn how to feed and change their baby even in the dark within a few weeks of tending the baby. Call it parent's intuition. Another way of doing it is to use the landing land on and the door open for night feeds. This light is enough for seeing the baby but not bright enough to wake him up.
