Blackout curtains are one of my biggest pet peeves as a sleep consultant because there are SO many products out there that say "99.9% blackout," but it's just not the case!

And having total darkness is going to help your little one get the best sleep possible.

In this episode, I'll be sharing:

• Why we recommend a pitch-black sleeping environment
• Common questions about blacking out your little one's room
• My favorite blackout solutions

And so much more!

Here are my favorite blackout solutions:

• Blackout EZ Covers (use the code "blackout10", with this link, for a discount!)
• SlumberPod (use the code "GRACES$20" for a discount!)
• Gro-Anywhere Blind

Here are some other blackout products that work well:

• Foil and painter's tape!
• Redi Shade
• Blackout Window Film
• Nicetown Curtains
• Under-door draft blocker

And if your little one is afraid of the dark, rather than just letting up on the blackout curtains, try a night light, like the Hatch Rest.
