Lights Out!

There have been a few products that I bought that helped Frankie sleep (including my amazing sleep doula which will be another post another time). The product below is one of my top favs:

The Gro Anywhere Blind: Silly me I spent an exorbitant amount of money on black out blinds for Frankie's nursery. Little did I know, the blinds would not be flush against the wall and therefore would let in a lot of light through the sides. I think this really affected Frankies naps and morning rising time as he saw light and realized that he didnt need to sleep (lucky me). I honestly considered buying black bristol board and taping it to the window ... then I found The Gro Anywhere Blind!!! I rush shipped the product from Calgary to my house and immediately put it on the window, shut the lights and OMG, Frankie's room was pitch black. I loved this product so much that I googled where I could find the product in Toronto and went immediately to buy another one for sleepovers (to be honest I kinda wanted to use it in my room). I swear Frankie's sleeping has been sooooo much better because of it - I HIGHLY recommend this product!!

Note: how the blind works is that it has suction cups around the perimeter of it, so you must have a window that doesnt have a screen!!

Where to buy: Becoming Maternity (they keep running out of them so call ahead to make sure they have stock)

Happy sleeping
