The part of me that thinks that getting a child used to having a soft comforting light will contribute to a fear of the dark later in life, says get used to the night kid.

...none of us knows the date we'll die, but you can assume that if you make it to 65, you have a darned good shot of making it to 83. And if you're a couple who makes it to 65, there's close to a 40 percent chance you'll make it to 90.
