We've got the suction blackout blind as we can take it when we see family, friends or go away

We got black out curtains

We stick a proper black out to the window frame and then have a blind over the top too. Any cracks of light seem to cause early wake ups x

We have venetian blinds and black out curtains, they’ve been great at keeping the room blackout at bedtime even though it’s still so light outside. They’re also great at keeping the heat out/warmth in x

We got some black out blinds from dunelm for about £16, we are also putting up curtains but we want to make sure we can block out the light in the summer but have curtains to maintain heat in the winter.

I put cardboard on the window because the black out blinds still let light in around the edges. I would put curtains over them but I’m in a rental and the windows are massive.

This year I invested in a roller blackout blind from Swift Direct blinds. It was cheap and soooo much better than having the suction stick on black out blind which was such a faff if you are sort of person who wants to open your blinds/windows every day.

please give a link

We have very wide windows, so we had to improvise a bit. We have blackout roller blind and black out curtains over that both from dunelm.

We use both

We got this and it’s been much more effective than the Tommee Tippee ones as we can get it much closer to the window!

Aldi have a baby event atm and there’s portable black out curtains for sale :)

my son has black out blinds but the gap around them still lets in a lot of light so we’re now adding black out curtains but keeping the blinds aswell x

We’ve got blackout blinds and ultra blackout curtains lol took no chances
