[blparent] light dependent children

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (TASC)]

All of us are hard-wired to communicate our needs. I'd imagine the baby will let you know if the light isn't sufficient, I know mine did.
The key is to listen and act accordingly.

I would think maybe it would be harmful if you never went out, but all of us
go out and all of us have light come in from the outdoors. So our babies do
get light from somewhere, but leaving the lights off at night or after dark
will not hurt them.  Light comes in from the television and all clocks and
radios.  Funny, it just never occurred to me.

ear Jan,
I discussed this with my husband as well and he also believes that
light helps with eye movement and is important for the baby if he is
awake to have it on.
I don't care if the light is on myself also but thats what I was told.
Hina.
