Should I nurse in the dark when feeding at night, or does bright light make it harder for my baby to fall back asleep?

During night feedings, keeping the environment as dim as possible helps your baby learn the difference between night and day and makes it easier for them to fall back asleep after feeding. Instead of turning on bright light, using a very dim nightlight or avoiding blue-toned light (like phone screens) supports sleep cycles better. The common clinical advice for infant sleep is to keep nighttime feedings quiet, dim, and calm to reinforce the habit of returning to sleep right after feeding.
