Blackout Curtains

DD is a quite slow to settle at night and Im wondering if it may be too light in her room. No matter how early we start her bedtime routine, she always falls asleep as its getting dusky outside - about 830-9pm. She generally goes to bed at 8pm but we have been trying to gradually pull it back with no luck, she will always fall asleep at the later time.

If you have used blackout curtains for a similar situation, has it made a difference??
We dont own our house and she has a lot of windows in her room so I wouldnt likely get 'proper' blackout curtains due to the cost - what has worked for you? Was thinking maybe towels or blankets attached to the back somehow but not sure how well that would work....

Any advice welcome

we just bought some block-out blinds for our 19mo, she had the same problem. Briscoes have them on sale for 60% off at the mo I think, they are a really nice neutral cream colour but work really well to make it a lot darker (I was a bit apprehensive until I saw them in action)

We did the same here as squoggs, it's really made a difference, plus it really helps to keep the heat out later in the day and the heat in in winter. Well worth the price (especially with 60% off) plus you would be able to take them with you :)

We use the GRO ANYWHERE BLACKOUT BLIND which is great as it suckers on to the window and adjusts to any window size. We also take it on holiday.
