Most of my friends have black out blinds in their childrens' rooms, but as Isabelle never had any problems with getting up too early until recently, we didn't think we needed one. She was actually happier when there was a bit of light coming in her room as she hates darkness and needs her night light on.
Isabelle has recently turned 3 and until this spring, she used to get up at around 8 am, going to bed at 7.30 pm and having her nap after lunch for good 2 hours. I think she loves her sleep as both her parents do ;) So with this spring not only the birds have started waking us up, but also our darling Isabelle suddenly started getting up toooo early for us, at 6.30 or so... The first thing that came on my mind were blackout blinds...that all my friends were talking about.
As I love Gro products, I bought the Gro anywhere blackout blind (previously baa baa blackout blind). I could not wait for the delivery. When it came we expected miracles, that our darling Isabelle would go back to getting up at 8 am...but it didn't happen! What a disappointment. The first thing to mention, they say the blinds fit most windows, well, obviously not our one, as there was tiny 1 cm gap on one side..letting the light in, but I honestly do not think it would make a difference. Also, it did not stick to the window properly and kept on falling off. It might work for some, but unfortunately didn't for us.
And guess what? For the last two weeks she has been getting up after 7.30 am, without any blackout blinds on her windows!
