I bought a lamp for Jesse's room just before he was born as i didnt want to turn on the big light when putting him to bed or during night feeds and changing his nappy at night. Its up on top of his chest of draws so hes not going to be able to reach it for a long time. He has a night light on his mobile but it doesnt put out enough light to see what youre doing when changing his nappy (if its a pooey one). For me, i think the lamp was a great idea. You can get come cute ones around, we got one with sleeping teddys on it
