Why is a nightlight ...

The most important thing is that your little one feels safe, right? We, at Yumi Yay, love to help you with this with our fun night lights! Night lights are one of the easiest ways to reassure your child at night ...

So don't be too quick to consider a night light unnecessary, because there are quite a few advantages to having one in your child's room ... We've listed a few pros for you. Team 'night light' for the win! 👊

Don't give monsters a chance!

For many little ones, the dark can cause them to be afraid, e.g. of imaginary monsters under the bed. A night light can then offer them comfort and safety! With the interchangeable covers of the Yumi Yay night light, they can choose themselves which companion - Otti, Finn, Tika or Billy - watches over them and protects them from those 'monsters'!

Less risk of ‘boo-boos’

Admit it, it's sometimes a challenge to move through a pitch-dark room without bumping your toes ... or kicking a stray Lego brick! #wefeelyourpain For young children, then again, it can be rather scary. A night light makes it easier to move around the room, for a nightly toilet visit or to have a drink ... and less risk of blue toes for mom and/or dad! 😜 

But also if you have a baby or toddler who still sleeps in a crib or cot, a night light can be very handy, to take a peek without waking him or her up ... or for parents to give night feedings, in soft(er) light! The Yumi Yay nightlights with three different light modes are ideal for this purpose. You can - by gently tapping the light - choose between 40 minutes of bright light, 20 minutes of softer light or all night soft light.

Encouraging independence

As little ones grow, they also become more independent! One way to encourage this is to create a fun environment that also feels safe and secure at the same time. Give your little one that little bit of independence, for example, by letting them turn on and off their own nightlight.

With Yumi Yay, by the way, you can turn it into a fun evening ritual by first reading a story about our Yumi Yay friends together, and then letting the kids choose for themselves whether Otti, Finn, Tika or Billy will watch over them that night. And then, the big moment: turning on the light ... Going to sleep has never been so much fun! 😴

Say YAY to …

... a better night's sleep, for everyone! By creating a relaxing (sleep) environment with the addition of a nice night light, your little one will (hopefully) have a peaceful night and nocturnal 'waking moments' will be minimized. Thus your little one will be a happy baby, toddler or preschooler during the day! Although a night light is only a small addition to the nursery, there seem to be quite a few benefits. In short, highly recommended!
