Well my son has had his nights where he sleeps through the night. Then there's nights where he wakes up every couple of hours. Well I always had a lamp on so there would be some kind of light on. Well I decided I want it off. The first night he slept 10 til 10. The second 10 til 8 and that's cause I had to wake him up. The rest has been the same. He sleeps perfect through the night. Lol so lights off pitch dark is what he likes :)

    I don't think its good for a baby to sleep in pitch dark jmo though. But if it works what can I say :) Alana sleeps through the night and we have the tv on all the time she sleeps like an Angel 8 hours every night :)

    @juliansmommy my lo at the hospital would scream at the light being off then the same at home. But I had to try it again and it worked. I was nervous also because I wouldn't be able to sleep as good. But javi snores so I hear him lol hopefully julian lets mommy sleep :)

    @lyndsay1983 yay to sleeping through the night ;)

    @myHEARTZx3 lol my hubby always told me to turn it off but I never listen to him and that's cause he's usually right. Well most of the time lol

    @MrsThompson34 your lucky lol :)

    @MommyLovesSparkle lol why do you think that? Do you have the sound off? Just in case he wakes up in the middle of the night I have the remote next to me lol

    I sleep with the lights off and darkening curtains but I have my phone and a little battery operated nightlight that I turn on to see him if I need to

    @TxMommy93011 its a cultural thing, we believe like if you sleep in pitch dark bad things will come by the baby. I believe it though kuz when I was pregnant my boyfriend and I would sleep in the pitch dark with very little moon light kuz we have black curtains. One night I was tossing and turning all night & I felt someone staring at me so I opened my eyes and I seen a man with all black and a hood. I seen him walk to one side of the room to the other it was weird so I freaked out and woke up my bf I was speechless. I didn't say anything I just pointed and he looked and seen it too (he said it was pointing at us) and got up and put the light on and it was gone. We didn't go to bed since morning that day lol but yeah I turn the sound off.

    @MommyToSparkle omg scary. When we first brought my son home I would have niightmares. One time I honestly felt someone pulling me off the bed. I swear up and down I was screaming and kicking and my husband says he never heard me. Good thing my son would sleep in his bassinet.
