How to Keep Baby’s Room Dark at Night During the Summer



A dark sleep environment is ideal for newborns, older babies, and toddlers. Yet, the longer days of summer can interfere with sleep patterns, which is evident from your baby monitor and its sleep insights. While you may love summer, you may not love how it impacts your baby’s sleep. As a parent, it’s your job to make changes and support a darker, rest-friendly sleep space for your little ones. 

Cover Up the Windows with Blackout Curtains

Even with standard curtains or the pretty lace design you liked for the nursery, lots of light can seep through. Blackout curtains are ideal for new parents to help themselves and their baby get more sleep. Just make sure the blackout curtains extend from the floor to the ceiling to keep out all the light.

Keep the Light From Coming Under the Door

Most light pollution comes from windows, but light and sounds from under the door can also affect your child's sleep. Staying up later with longer days may tempt you and your partner, but your baby still needs rest. Door draft stoppers block light and soften outside sounds, helping your little one sleep undisturbed. 


Invest in a Baby Cam with Clear Night Vision

A baby monitor with a camera offering clear visuals at nighttime will help you feel confident that the changes you made for summer are working. A baby cam should let you see how your little one is sleeping, which is important in keeping your little one comfortable. You can also use a baby monitor with a hub as a dim nightlight for the room when you need to check on your little one. So, even an almost entirely dark room is easy to navigate.

You put a lot of work into planning the perfect nursery, but plans can change. Baby gear and everyday household conveniences like blackout curtains can help you keep the sleep space dark and improve your little one’s sleep quality. You’ll notice these changes with insights from a sleep monitor, so the results are clear and rewarding.
