Soothing your baby in dim light during nighttime wakings helps them learn the difference between night and day and supports continued melatonin production. In short, not turning on the light is better. If there's no apparent discomfort causing the waking, calm and brief intervention in dim light usually makes it easier for them to drift back to sleep. Building this habit can take a few days; patience is all you need.
