Night Notes Lampiero

Night feeds

Does she wake up fully at every nappy change?

Look up at the light above the changing table. The feed happens in the dark. The nappy happens under the brightest light in the room.

A changing table at night with a nappy, wipes and cream under a bright white light — The changing table, the second the ceiling light goes on.

The baby stirs. You get up half asleep and carry her to the changing table.

You need to see the nappy, the wipes and the buttons. So the brightest light in the room goes on, right above her face.

The change takes two minutes. Then she is wide awake, and often so are you.

From forums

…the light often startles her.
A parent on Mumsnet, asking for a night feeding light

It was hard for ME to fall back asleep with a bright light.
A parent on Hellobee, about the light for night changes

The feed is dark. The nappy is not.

Most parents keep the feed dark. The NHS advises it too: keep the lights low at night. Then comes the nappy, and a nappy needs light.

So the ceiling light over the changing table goes on. Or the phone flashlight, in one hand while the other does the buttons. Every one of them is white light, and she is looking straight up at it.

Looking straight up into a bright round ceiling light — What she sees at every nappy change.

Harvard sleep lab

90minutes

Room light in the evening cut about 90 minutes off the body’s night.

Melatonin is the signal that tells your body it is night. In a Harvard sleep lab, people who sat in ordinary room light before bed started making it later. Their melatonin night was about 90 minutes shorter. Red is the colour the body clock reacts to least.

If you feed in bed: three lights

Bright white light at night signals daytime to the body clock. Tap each light and look at the walls and the other pillow.

Tap a light and watch the room

The same bedroom at night, ceiling light

The same bedroom at night, red night light

Ceiling light

Every corner lit, both pillows included. The same light you use at noon.

Dim lamp

Softer, but it still reaches the walls and the other pillow. Still white light.

Red night light

A small red light on your side. Enough for the bottle and the latch. The rest of the room stays dark.

What parents try first

A tea towel over the night light. One mother wrote: “When baby woke I whipped the towel off.” Covering a light is the clearest sign it was too much.
The bathroom light, door open. A parent wrote: “we just turn on the bathroom light so we can see to change him.” It lights the nappy, and the whole hallway.
The phone flashlight. A white beam next to her face, and your phone in your hand in the middle of the night.

What a night feed light needs to do

Deep red, not warm white. Warm white is still white light. Deep red is the colour the body clock reacts to least.
Dims very low, then up for the change. A little light for the feed, a bit more for the nappy.
No cable. From the changing table to the chair to your bed.
Comes on where you left it. Never full power at the first touch.

We built Lampiero around this list.

Put it on the changing table and touch it on with one hand. Slide a finger along the top until you see the nappy, the wipes and your hands. The rest of the room stays dark.

Feed the baby. Keep the house asleep.

Slide a finger along the top

Down for the feed, up for the nappy. Try it on the picture.

Nocne karmienia

Bardzo dobra jakość

W sam raz do przewijania w nocy. Wystarczająco światła, żeby wszystko widzieć, ale nie tak jasno, żeby dziecko całkiem się obudziło.

Nocne karmienia

Idealna do nocnego karmienia. Dziecko nie budzi się całkowicie i ja też nie. Wcześniej zapalałem górne światło i wszyscy byli całkiem rozbudzeni.

Nocne karmienia

Dziecko jest bardzo spokojne przy tym świetle podczas nocnych karmień. Wcześniej zawsze płakało, kiedy zapalałem górną lampę. Teraz jest dużo lepiej.

Nocne karmienia

Noszę ją z sypialni do pokoju dziecka i z powrotem. Bez kabli, bez wtyczki. Dla nowych rodziców to podstawa. Żałuję, że nie wiedziałam o niej wcześniej.

Questions parents ask

Is red light bright enough to change a nappy?

Yes. Slide it up and you see the nappy, the wipes and the buttons clearly. Slide it down for the feed.

Does it click, or need a socket?

No. Every control is touch, and one charge lasts about a week of nights. The timer switches it off after 30, 60 or 90 minutes.

Try it for 30 nights

One lamp is enough to start. Parents who take two put one on the changing table and one by the bed, so nothing has to be carried with a baby in your arms.
