The Gro Light, a review

Have you ever got anything which you know could change your life?
I don’t mean a ground breaking change but, you know, something which will make your life so much easier?

Well recently I was sent a Gro Light from the Gro Company. I have been waiting for the nursery to be done before I reviewed it, for the selfish reason that the photos would look nicer with the new lampshade on (separate post on the nursery when I manage to clear the drying washing from out of there).

If you don’t know, the Gro Light is a nifty little gadget which fits on to your existing bayonet light fitting or onto a table lamp and enables you to feed your baby in muted light and check on them through the night without having to put the full light on.

When I had Boo, I tried everything to check her without disturbing her. The big light was too bright, as was the light on my phone which even I would have been angry about having a bright torch-style light shined in my face.

We ended up going for a small lamp turned towards the wall which wasn’t ideal as we both had to sleep in semi-light for six months but, with little else to help, I couldn’t think of anything else. At least I could do night feeds and check on her without disturbing her too much.

However, with the Gro Light, I wont even have to worry about disturbing the new baby. With Christmas out of the way, I asked Hubster to attach it to the light fitting in the baby’s room so I could have a play.

It was so easy, I attached the bulb to the Gro Light and then Hubster removed the plastic light fitting, re-attached the lamp shade and put the Gro Light in position.

It was a dark, foggy winters day, about 4pm so was reasonably dark and I switched the light on. With one flick of the regular light switch, a lovely muted, blue-tone light was omitted from the Gro Light.

One more flick of the switch then transformed the room into a normal light.

I am just so pleased. For a small amount of money (£17.99) all your night feeds are sorted and you will be confident of slipping into see your baby for many months to come with the added addition of a Gro Light.

I just need a baby now.

Gro Lights are available both online and instore from retailers such as Argos, John Lewis, Kiddicare and Mothercare as well as from the Gro Store itself.

*We were sent the Gro Light for the purpose of this review but all opinions are my own and I am genuinely very excited about using it.
