I obviously want to make sure she is co...

Does your toddler still have blackout for their room for sleep?

We’re about to move our son to a new room. He’s always had complete blackout but the new room has a huge bay window plus additional windows and we just can’t get blackout without custom blinds etc which would cost ridiculous money due to the amount of windows. Wondering if he will adjust/ what other people have?
