Night feeding and light?

Question

My LO is almost 2 months old. My husband has been sleeping in the guest room through the week since he works and then sleeps in our room on the weekends. Our little man is starting to sleep better and I feel like we’re probably about to the point my husband could sleep in our room and not be completely sleep deprived for work! The only catch is , we sleep with the bathroom light on so that I can see for night nursing sessions. My husband has a really hard time sleeping when it’s not really dark, so it’s not practical for us to do that every night if he’s sleeping in here. What do you ladies do for light when you nurse? 
LO is in a bedside bassinet, so I don’t want to have to get out of bed to turn anything on and off and the bassinet has taken the place of my nightstand so I don’t have easy reach to a lamp.

Answer

I have a Wemo that I plug a night light into. Wemo is a device that allows me to turn the night light on with my phone. Since my phone is always close when I need to help
LO latch I just turn it on quick.

Answer

These give a soft glow and won’t wake up your husband. There’s a timer on there with 5, 10, 20 min or no limit so if you fall asleep, it will vibrate when the timer runs out.

Answer

I use the flashlight on my phone and just set it down

Answer

I don’t use any light I nurse in the dark.

Answer

My hubby and I sleep separately right now too, except on weekends when he’s off. Can’t wait to our little guy starts to sleep better through the night so he can move back in haha
I have a salt Lamp on my bedside table. It’s awesome as it gives a soft glow and it has a dial so I only turn it on when little guy is up for a feed- and place it on the softest setting. Works great and was like 15-20$ on amazon!

Answer

We have a few different things. The tv is always on so I can watch it when I nurse. We also have a wax warmer that has the lightbulb. It’s has cool colors on it so it gives off just enough light if the tv turns off. It’s on my husband side of the bed. It doesn’t wake him. I also put lavender wax melts in it to help us all sleep. We also have the diffuser with lavender that has a pink light but that seems to turn off when I need it.

Answer

We have a Philips Hue Go lamp my sister gave me for this purpose. It has several colors/shades of light. I turn it on when I get up to feed and it’s just enough without lighting up the whole room, or being too harsh on the eyes.

Answer

We have a diffuser in our bedroom that lights up and gives off enough light I could see if I needed to but I usually get up and go out to our living room in our recliner to nurse.

Answer

I co-sleep with a dock a tot so we don’t need a light to nurse. Only time we use light is for diaper changes, there is a little light on the wipe warmer. When we first started out though I’d use my owl skip hop night light, I like it because it projects stars on the ceiling and it has a long plug in cord so when we stay overnight somewhere I can use it without needing a bed side table I just leave it on the floor.
