Gatecrashing from pregnancy - Black out curtains Q
in Baby
Hi ladies hope you don't mind me posting here as I haven't had my baby yet!
Was just wondering how important it is to have blackout curtains. The curtains we have in baby's room are quite light so would probably take in quite a lot of daylight, do the blackout curtains really make enough of a difference?
Also, if they are worth getting is there anywhere cheaper than mothercare to buy them, as mothercare ones cost just as much as the orginal curtains did!
Thanks!

We got our blind from Hillary's web site. Measured up ourself then oh put them up when they were delivered. Like Bubblez said Dunelm will do some. You can also buy a Baa Baa blind which you can put up and take down so good for travel. Costs about ??30. Google it and you'll find a few places that sell it and measurements etc.
So yes think the blackout blinds are worth it! x

Saying that, Ikea has some great blackout blinds (that can be cut down to size and fitted by yourself) which we got for my son's room, and are looking to get for the babies room too (to go behind the lovely curtains that would also let in light... best of both worlds!
Plus they are only around ??10 I think... have white, beige and black.. not sure if any other colours...
