Do you use a night light?

[astragirl]

DS (15 months) sleeps in a darkened room, and when he wakes in the night (2 or 3 times) we have to go in and reassure him before he can go back to sleep. Would a night light help, what are your experiences?

I was against this as I thougth too much light was bad for the eyes (read some research or article that said this)

But ds (3 ish) did start getting scared of dark so we've been leaving landing light on outside his bedroom since he was about 2. I turn it off when I go to bed.

Sometimes get woken by him having nightmare and wanting light on. getting less frequent now.
