Does red light help babies sleep?

I am so tired these days that if you put a red light in my room, I will sleep before the baby does! Jokes aside, back when my kids were small, we just used dim yellow lights. These new trends sound fancy, but simple dim lighting is usually more than enough.

My niece sleeps only when she is tired of crying, regardless of the light's color! But seriously, red light is just supposed to not disturb their melatonin. Don't worry, it won't turn your nursery into a sci-fi movie lab, it is quite harmless to try.

Please be very careful with baby sleep issues. My son had severe colic and breathing difficulties which we initially mistook for normal sleep trouble, and we delayed seeing the pediatrician. If your baby is consistently crying or unable to rest, please consult your doctor instead of relying on light therapies.

I am a new mother and still learning about all this. Does the red light actually help them sleep longer, or is it just to help us see during night feedings? If anyone has tried it for infants under six months, please let me know.
