Re: Do you sleep with your and dc doors opened or closed?

Theirs closed, ours open!
Not only bec I heard it was safer, but
also I would be so afraid they would wake up with phone calls, our tv or us just walking by! Our monitors pick up their breathing, I dont doubt I will hear if anything is wrong!

Re: Do you sleep with your and dc doors opened or closed?

everyones is closed. Ours is closed cause I don't want dog in my bed. Kids are closed in case of fire.

Re: Do you sleep with your and dc doors opened or closed?

Ours is open, theirs is closed.

Re: Do you sleep with your and dc doors opened or closed?

Open a little bit! And I stopped using the baby monitor because of that.

I can hear him so much better that way (TRUST me... your DC crying will wake you up).

Re: Do you sleep with your and dc doors opened or closed?

Our door is open, his is shut. No need for him getting up any earlier then he does. We have a monitor, and since we share a wall, i can hear him even without the monitor.

Re: Do you sleep with your and dc doors opened or closed?

our door is open, but only because the cat's litter box is in our bathroom. but DS's door is closed. I don't want him to hear anything and i don't want the cat going in there.

Re: Do you sleep with your and dc doors opened or closed?

For now, both are open. We are going to start closing their door soon. We are so paranoid that they are going to climb out of their cribs and crawl out into the hallway (and then fall down the stairs). Unlikely, but that's our fear!

Re: Do you sleep with your and dc doors opened or closed?

Usually both our doors are open, but lately we have been pulling her shut (leaving it slightly open) so the heat stays in her room.

I can always hear her, I am a light sleeper.


ETA - also in the summer only when the ACs are on, both doors are closed. I keep the monitor on all night then.

Hers is closed and mine is closed.
I hear every sound she makes on that video monitor anyway.

Re: Do you sleep with your and dc doors opened or closed?

Jack's door is closed but a crack when he goes to bed. We open it before we go to sleep. Both of the boys' rooms have no heat registers so we leave all doors open with the ceiling fans circulating the heat.

Re: Do you sleep with your and dc doors opened or closed?

Both are closed

Re: Do you sleep with your and dc doors opened or closed?

Girls’ doors are closed, ours is open.

Re: Do you sleep with your and dc doors opened or closed?

We always had doors closed because we had an annoying barking dog.

Re: Do you sleep with your and dc doors opened or closed?

I keep both my bedroom and DD's bedroom opened. I want to be able to hear her if she needs mommy! lol

Re: Do you sleep with your and dc doors opened or closed?

Ours open (b/c of the cat).
DD's closed.

Re: Do you sleep with your and dc doors opened or closed?

All open (DS is only 4 months old). Our rooms are on the same floor, but not next to eachother.

Re: Do you sleep with your and dc doors opened or closed?

Both are closed

Re: Do you sleep with your and dc doors opened or closed?

we close both our door and his. this way in the morning he doesn't wake up when we are getting ready for work, lights on in the hallway, etc.

the video monitor is great!

Re: Do you sleep with your and dc doors opened or closed?

I remember that fear.

I can't leave her door open though because of our cats (bigger fear) so I used to keep it cracked open with a shoe to prevent the cats from pushing it open.

Now its closed. Its better for her because its darker and quieter with the door closed (in my mind)

But yeah, it took a bit of getting used to.

MY door is open. Again, cats. They use our bench as a lounge area.

Re: Do you sleep with your and dc doors opened or closed?

DS's door is closed until we go to bed, it gets too hot in his room.

Ours is always open

Re: Do you sleep with your and dc doors opened or closed?

our girls are 8 1/2 mos and we keep both doors open, our bedrooms are pretty much right across from each other
of course as they get a little older we will start closing so they don't catch us doing anything they shouldnt see

Re: Do you sleep with your and dc doors opened or closed?

DS' door is closed. Our door is open or ajar. The video monitoor is enough and if I have any doubts I go into his room and check on him.

Re: Do you sleep with your and dc doors opened or closed?

our door is closed, baby DS door is closed, our 2 YO stays open bc he likes it that way, plus his room gets cold.

we don't have a video monitor for baby DS, just the angel care

Re: Do you sleep with your and dc doors opened or closed?

Both are always closed due to the risk of fire.

My house burned down about 10 years ago. Had I not had my door closed, I would have died from smoke inhalation (it was overnight and the smoke detectors failed)
