can anyone recommend a nightlight - elijah becomes even more (is it possible?) unsettled as soon as it gets properly dark, so now i think a nightlight might help (hahaha umm any more straws for me to clutch at anyone?)

the only things that are essential are...it isn't so bright it keeps me awake but it will help eli know where he is...
it should be fairly cheap!
it is preferably capable of running on batteries as the sockets are in rubbish places but i guess that isn't 100% essential

Izzy has a plug in one, it doesnt matter if the socket is in a rubbish place, so long a its not blocked.

Its an automatic one, so don't need to think about it

there's cute ones on amazon that charge up during the day and then you can move them about at night (when he's bigger he can use it to go to the loo at night)
I was looking to get one but if need be I can use the projector on Arwyn's mobile, or I use my phone to find her dummy in the night!

I had the Disney Princess one of these...rubbish! It never charges up enough to last all night, and when used as a torch it really feeble, the night light was even more feeble!

haha yeah i use my phone too to figure out what im standing on in the night - elijahs lightshow thing sings a delightful little melody so that isn't going to cut it hahaha i couldn't sleep with that menace on all night!

We have this one and can't recommend it enough
Its a night light and a torch too

Not sure if these are the ones your talking about Lisa, but tbh I can't say i've had any problems with ours.

Weve tried many things and found the plug iin lights to be best and cheap xx

Yeh same idea - but they don't do the one I had any more, they've 'upgraded' it!

Maybe mine was a duff!

the plugs are behind the bed/behind a chest of drawers but zee, that one looks really good - we have a gro-egg but obviously that isn't bright enough for captain elijah, and i tried the lamp but that was too bright haha mustfindhappymedium mustfindhappymedium mustfindhappymedium hmm that should be my mantra for life

Oh did you know the gro eg people do a night light that goes in the light socket?

what a clever idea - we have stupid dimmer uplighters though so that's out too - surely theres something that i can stick some batteries in and it will magic elijah to sleep

ooh i just googled those lights zee, they have a rather adorable toy story one (and a peppa pig one that i like but is possibly a bit pink for a boy, boo!)

Gro also do some other versions

I think I might just have to get Izzy that 3rd one!

We have these ones in a Disney Princess and Thomas the Tank Engine and they are fab.

Just enough to see in the dark, but not enough to keep them awake. Also the torch bit has come in really handy when Lottie got older and needed the toilet in the night as she is in the loft and she needs to go downstairs to the toilet xx

is it just me or do the first two look a bit...erm...ann summersy??? the 3rd one is adorable though - £30 is pushing it!!! i do think little elijah would make a very good pixie though
