How to Make It

- Place it on the armrest of your nursing chair or within arm’s reach on the changing table.
- Tap the silicone body to cycle through brightness levels or warm white and color-shifting modes.
- Use the softest warm glow setting to check on your sleeping baby without harsh illumination.
Materials Needed
- Rechargeable Silicone Animal Nightlight (Bunny, Bear, or Cat)

Tips and Variations
