The best toddler and baby night lights

Misty the smart cloud is a clever connected 4 in 1 sleep aid for your baby: Nursery thermometer, sleep inducing light show, sleep trainer and personal assistant, all combined into one super cute and super smart product. Misty links to a mobile phone app meaning you can easily monitor your baby’s sleep environment, together with controlling her functions wherever you may be.

Review: "It's great that Misty can last from the newborn stages, helping new parents with the baby diary and as a feeding light, and then transition into sleep trainer and day/night indicator as well as a light show into toddlerhood and even for older children as a nightlight and clock. There's a real longevity with this product as it's not just a room thermometer, or a nightlight. It's multifunctional. You can also adjust the brightness of the light from the app so can make it brighter when you need it, for feeding for example, then lower it down again. The light doesn't go off unless you set it to idle, or you turn the brightness right down. The sleep trainer is a great feature as you can introduce the idea of awake/night times when baby is still quite young, and as they get older they’ll understand what the different colours mean."

This Wooden Wall Light makes for a great night light in any child's room. It looks stylish and attaches to the wall with a stick on base that is really secure too. The light can be recharged with a USB an has three modes: off, auto sensor and on. It's handy for new mums who might be looking for something in the night, as they can take the light off its stand, and also brilliant for children who need to get out of bed to use the toilet at night. It's a great, versatile night light.

Our Commercial Content Writer, Samantha, said: "My son is always turning all the upstairs lights on if he wakes up in the night to use the toilet and I'm forever changing batteries in his usual night lights, so after I saw this light online I had to get it. It's a huge game changer! It charges using a USB, looks stylish and the light is the perfect brightness. I love that there is the option to have it as a sensor light too."

Whether your baby is still co-sleeping or is struggling to settle in their new cot, this clever projector from Chicco is bound to help. Designed to fit the best-selling Next2Me crib, this lovely little projector also has a universal fit, so can be attached to a number of different cribs.

It's suitable from birth and comes complete with a removable, washable soft toy. The night light features 30 minutes of music and projection, including classical, new age and nature sounds - dream on!

Review: "Calms baby down when she's sleepy, stars on ceiling mesmerized her. Able to turn music volume up and down as needed, activates by baby crying and fits the next to me crib perfectly. Baby is now five months and plays with the little teddy attached when she wakes up in the morning (it's too small to cause any suffocation risk) It does have one downfall though, it goes through batteries very very quickly with a lot of use."

For such an affordable price, this Tommee Tippee Groclock Sleep Trainer does a lot. The glowing screen not only provides comfort for your child at night, it also helps teach them about night and day, with the blue screen representing the nighttime and the yellow screen during the day. Each little star goes out one at a time as the hours pass, helping them start to understand the process of it being time to wake up.

We found that this was a great tool for teaching toddlers when they can get out of bed and start the day.

Review: "I honestly never ever expected this to work. Not in a million years. My two year old woke around 5am everyday. I knew something needed to change when I started considering 6am a lie in. I bought this clock and moved her into a proper bed on the same day (are you crazy I hear you say!! Yes, yes I am). I read the story to her (a load of rubbish if I'm honest), told her to say goodnight to Mr Sun and left her to it. Now, she slept all the way though and didn't try to escape from her bed which was just great. She didn't understand the clock. I expected that, she's only two. I persevered, every night I told her to say goodnight to Mr Sun (I threw the book away) and about a week later she suddenly got it. She started shouting at 6am (the time I set for the sun to rise). If she woke before 6 I told her Mr sun wasn't up yet so she needed to go back to sleep. And by god she listened. Four weeks after starting the clock, I have the sun set to rise at 6:20am and she's doing very well. So my child is proof that this clock does work. And I am no longer sleep deprived. Happy days!"

We love this sleep-friendly portable nightlight. This light has a non-removable rechargeable battery which is charged by USB. With dual-parent and child modes, a room temperature sensing dock and a unique design, we think this is a must-have for new parents.

Our parent reviewer, Beth said: "This light is brilliant for my nighttime nappy changes and feeding. The light is just bright enough to be able to see what I'm doing during the nappy change, but not so bright that it fully wakes the baby up. The soft light creates a calm environment for us while we do our night feeds. The portability of the light is also a brilliant design feature, allowing me to move the light from the bedside to the changing table. The product makes life easier as I don't have to turn on bright lights at night time."

This ClevaPure Salt lamp does more than just illuminate your little ones' bedroom. Not only can it be used as a warm night light it is also a humidifier and aromatherapy diffuser as well. Genuine Himalayan salt crystals contained within the lamp cast a 'melatonin-friendly' glow, which helps to create a calm atmosphere for your little one to sleep.

Mother&Baby Parenting and Lifestyle Product writer, Hannah James said: "I really love this product. It does so much more than your generic night light. I put a few drops of lavender in the water which has helped my sons drift off to sleep much easier, as well as making the room smell wonderful. The light looks amazing and I love the Himalayan salt crystals. I love it so much that I have even purchased one for my own bedroom. "

This cute and cuddly nighttime companion will help you and your baby get a good night's sleep. With a soft heart-shaped light, soothing sounds and gentle lullabies, your little one will be reassured as they go to sleep. During the night, the intelligent cry sensor listens out for any crying noises and plays your chosen sound or lullaby to help them drift back to sleep.

Real mum tester Jennifer said: "I think this is such a great product. We had a Ewan the dream sheep with my older daughter, which she loved but it got lost! This is a great upgrade because you don't have to replace the batteries, you just have to make sure it's charged up (which it doesn't appear to need very often even though we have it on the sensor mode throughout the day/night)."

Make way for Ewan the Dream Sheep - the cuddly teddy mums everywhere swear by. Not only does he look adorable, but he comforts your baby with its soft glowing light and soothing soundtrack.

We love that Ewan the Dream Sheep has a 20-minute-long soundtrack of calming sounds, alongside womb and heartbeat sequences, to completely relax your little one. While it's not machine-washable, its bedtime benefits will be a blessing if your child is struggling with their sleep routine.

Review: "This product is a life saver I don't think I would have my sanity if it wasn't for Ewan. First night with our newborn son he was up all night crying and wouldn't settle. Soon as we introduced Ewan on white noise and heart beat he was asleep in minutes. I would strongly recommend the deluxe version as when our son wakes or stirs Ewans motion sensor picks him up and he kicks in to action soothing our little one back to sleep so we can get some rest. Seriously impressed with this product."

This adorable owl night light is a winner on many levels - not only can it help ease your baby into their sleeping routine, but it also fits into their room like just another toy. We love the cute design. With a dimmable nightlight belly, eight melodies and calming nature sounds and projection feature that gives your baby's ceiling a starry nightscape, this is bound to send your little one off into a deep slumber.

All these features must guzzle up a lot of power, surely? No! Running on an adapter, this stylish nightlight won't have you reaching for new batteries every two seconds. A must-buy in our eyes.

Real-life mum tester Alina Davies said: "I would absolutely recommend this product to every parent I know! It is really useful from newborn age to much older. For newborns the white noise is perfect (and really works). The stars give them something to look at and for their eyes to follow - my little boy loves looking at it. For older children the stars look fabulous in their bedrooms and help them drift off to sleep watching them. There is also music for older ones with different time settings. And it looks good too! Brilliant product, very versatile."

An easy-to-use thermometer that changes colour depending on the temperature in the room, if you love a multi-tasking gadget, you'll be a fan of this little night light. You'll be able to tell at a glance whether the temperature in your tot's room is right, and they'll be soothed by the night light, whatever colour it's glowing. We love a product that does two things in one, and this clever gadget ticks that box.

Review: "This was recommended to us by staff in Neonatal. I have seen many reviews saying its inaccurate. I did notice when placed near a patio door temp dropped or near a light or TV it raised due to appliance heat. So we centred the cot in our room and placed the egg next to the cot and it seems to give a fairly accurate reading. It's not been off yet. Their leaflet is extremely helpful in terms of how many layers and clothing is required at certain temps. I found the leaflet is full of invaluable information. We are over the moon with it. And saves us guessing and worrying. We regularly check our baby's temp and so far the egg has been fantastic to regulate temp."

An alternative night light for thirsty toddlers! Another multiple-feature product, this classic sippy cup doubles as a night light. The innovative product combines a non-spill cup with a softly glowing light and is perfect for children who are battling their newfound independence around 12 months old and up.

At such a cheap price, it's worth seeing how your little one reacts to this super flexible, battery run product. It's also easy to clean and can be taken anywhere, just in case you need a mobile product for any sleepovers.

Review: "Doesn't leak as much as other similar cups we have had. Took my son a few tries to work out how to drink from it but he loves it now. It only really leaks if it is dropped. Which my son loves to do too as it splatters a little. Typical mischievous 18-month-old. Night light not very bright but that's not a big problem. Glows enough to see it in the dark. More of a novelty attached to what is otherwise a brilliant cup."

This Gro-Light 2-in-1 Night Light has two features in one, either a main bright light or a soft night light! It adapts to your existing light, attaching onto bayonet lights or a normal room light in the day or a soft glow at night. Our favourite feature was that there was no need for plugging in, charging up or battery-draining night lights, this innovative product does all the work for you! With a soft, white LED glow, your nightly feeds will barely interrupt your little baby!

Review: "This is great. With our newborn we didn't want to have large amounts of light at night but needed enough so we could see her as well as change her in the night with minimal disturbance. We started off using a reading light that attached to a book for low light but found this. It attaches to your normal ceiling light or bedside lamp and goes in line between your bulb holder and your bulb. It also has a control on it to increase and decrease the light level. It allows use of this light or the main light and that is controlled from your light switch- switch once and the low level light is on, switch off and on again and it's your main bulb.

"One thing to note is there are two connectors available, screw and bayonet so get the correct one for your fitting! I found the bayonet fitting cheaper and because I've got both screw and bayonet lamps I bought the bayonet and a screw to bayonet converter."

Peppa Pig can be by your child's bedside with this fun night light shaped just like the popular cartoon character. It's a 2-in-1 night light and torch perfectly safe for little hands. We love that this product turns off automatically after ten minutes.

Review: "Very happy with this night light my Dad bought my two year old daughter. Love the 10 mins timer that turns itself off and that it is also a touch. We have had it almost one year and still never have changed the batteries yet."
