There’s no definitive answer to this question, like most parenting conundrums. Your child will likely grow out of any attachment to a night light by the time they are four or five years old, but this largely depends on the child. Blue and yellow LED lighting can suppress the production of melatonin — the main hormone that regulates your sleep-wake cycle — and reduce tiredness throughout the night in children, which may negatively affect sleep quality. When should I give my child a night light? Dim night lights and warmer colors are best for children. Results of a small 2018 study suggest that exposure to blue and yellow LED lighting at night affects children more than adults.
