[blparent] lights and sighted children

[Tammy]

Hi,

Actually, it's me, not my husband...I shutter to think what would happen if 
he got anywhere near structural things.  lol  the house would probably fall 
down or something.  grin  As to the light timers, there are two ways you can 
do that.  The cheapest and easiest is to use lamps and put timers on them. 
But they do sell timers that go on the light switches as well.  We have a 
lamp in the living room and we have a timer on that, plus one in the kid's 
room.  I don't like the light switch timers as well although we have used 
them too, but they don't give you a very reliable indication of whether the 
light is on or off.  You can't feel the heat from it, and I have no light 
perception so can't tell whether a light is on or off unless I'm looking 
right at it and it's extremely bright.

thanks to all who responded.
Good information about the eyes and sight development: thanks.
and, yes, keeping them off is cheaper and preferable, but not anymore.
And, I get excited knowing what Azaan might be seeing and might want
to interact with.
Hey, I just might have to set an alarm: -- "lights off at this time"
to remind me.
I like the timer on your lights idea, but don't know how to do it.
someone's DH must be a "Bob the Builder" kind of guy. (smile)

We opted out of the ointment because it is to prevent infection from
sexually transmitted diseases. since many mothers either don't know
that they have Ghonoreah or Klimydia, Doctors give it to all the
babies -- just in case, just like the Vitamin K shot to clot the
blood, in case you are going to circumcize or the HepB vaccination
--[do you know how it is transmitted and the actual likelyhood of your
infant getting this disease??],   which is another thread entirely.
My point is that this ointment does not need to be given to babies
whose parents are certain that they don't have these two STDs because
Mom has been tested during pregnancy and no one has been fooling
around. I am a bit offended that the assumption is that I or my
husband are too ignorant to know whether we have an STD or too
irresponsible to care.  There are also side effects to the ointment,
if you want to google them.... for any preg parent.
anyway, the information about sight development is quite helpful!
THX.
