Our pick of the best nightlights around

Using a nightlight in a baby’s or toddler’s room can be useful for a number of reasons. A nightlight is designed to illuminate a room with a soft glow that’s not so bright that it prevents sleep. It can be used for new mothers to check on their sleeping child, for nappy changing and night feeds, or to reassure older children in the dark.

We take a look at some of the best nightlights around now.

• The calming light and sound continue for ten minutes and gradually fade as your child falls asleep
