It's helpful for remembering what side we fed on last, to minimise getting mixed up and leaking everywhere/mastitis. It's helpful for counting dirty nappies to make sure she's healthy (6-8 minimum a day!). It's helpful when she's screeching so I can check the time she last fed to see if it's a hunger squawk. It also has the bonus ability to tell me when the baby's in the bed.
I don't flick that night light on until I'm standing up to physically lift the baby from the bassinet, and I don't turn it off until I'm on my way back in to bed after feeding her and she's settled back in the bassinet.
I've lost count of the number of times I've woken up, freaked out, patting around the bed for baby. Or hearing her and wondering how long it will take for her to settle so I can sleep, only to realise I already put her back. I've even woken up telling the husband I thought I'd already got her and was feeding her.
I wasn't expecting to use it that way, but it's definitely one of the most useful things I've bought for baby!
