Night/Dark

I got so frustrated.. Is it really a must to bottle feed or latch baby in the dark using a night light as well for changing diaper? Feel so difficult to see and do with minimal light. Can we use the ceiling warm light instead? Also after bottle feed or latch if baby sleep already do we need to check on their diaper or just let them sleep?

During the newborn days up to abt 2.5 months, I wld usually change diaper as soon as baby woke up then breastfed her to slp. If she peed again, I'd just let her sleep and wld change again after she wake up 2-3 hours later. If she pooed then no choice gotta wash and change. But since she's abt 3 months old, she has been sleeping longer for abt 4-5 hours and so far till now at 4 months, she never does big business at night so I wld not change her till the next morning. So far she's fine, no leaks, no rashes. For the lights, my toilet and room lights can change colour so we usually put on dimmed red light at night as it is scientifically proven to help ppl sleep better. It's bright enough for me to change baby's diaper and helps baby to stay asleep too while changing her.
