Poll: DC's door open or closed for bed?

mrs.mickulz · February 2009

Do you leave DC's door open or closed during bedtime or naptime and why (if you have a reason at all)?

Sept_Bride'07 · February 2009

closed. i don't want random noises waking him up.

anna7602 · February 2009

Open. We can't control the heat in our building and it would get too hot in there if we closed the door.

kelly&marty · February 2009

Closed at naptime, to keep it quiet.

Halfway open at bedtime. We're using a humidifier, and you aren't supposed to close off a room with a humidifier in it, as the moisture level could get too high. We do it halfway so my snoring doesn't wake him up (we're across the hall)!

When it's not winter, we close his door.

We leave it slightly cracked...Our upstairs is open like a loft area so he can hear noises downstairs if it's open. We have the baby crack machine too so that helps.

Ditto - I keep it open a crack but we have a dog that runs up and down the stairs and I don't want to risk waking him up.

We used to leave it open but now we leave it partially closed to keep some noises out, while still allowing air to flow (we have only 2 heat vents upstairs so it doesn't keep things a good temp if we shut doors).

Closed b/c of the cat.

mabst196 · February 2009

Closed,to keep the cats out of her room. We're too far to hear her anyway. We rely on the monitor.

*Scuzzlebutt* · February 2009

Closed, for bedtime and naps. Mostly because I think it's more quiet for her that way, and also because of the cats. I don't think they'd try to get in the crib with her or anything, but our two males wrestle a lot, which is loud.

ILs always leave her door open with the TV blaring in the next room when they babysit her. It drives me nuts and she doesn't sleep as well.

CreamPuff06 · February 2009

Usually closed for both - DH sometimes turns the TV up really loud (although she's shown she can sleep through an orchestra performance, so...) and I swear she can hear my alarm go off in the morning. It also keeps her room cooler, which is good for her coughing.

lmdbww · February 2009

I leave it open a few inches.

Heidi Lanigan-Potter · February 2009

Closed for both because he would wake up from all the noise. At night, we leave the bathroom door open between our rooms so we can hear him (but we also have a monitor in case we want it closed).

bunny731 · February 2009

The door is open about 1/4 way.

Toosdai · February 2009

Closed. I have cats who would love nothing better than to hop in her crib.

violetblue72 · February 2009

Closed at naptime and bedtime. Once DH and I go to bed, we open his door.

rissa06 · February 2009

closed, because we have to walk past her room and she hears us and wakes her up.

NaplesWifey · February 2009

Closed b/c I don't want the cats to go in there & wake her up.

Temp174496125006552 · February 2009

Closed. Otherwise, there would be kitty cat wrestling matches going on in there in the middle of the night (their preferred time to do this). Also, we have a 50+ year old house with squeaky hardwood floors.

Audtee · February 2009

Closed b/c we have a cat that we do not allow in our bedrooms, and an open door would be too tempting. Also, DH's alarm clock would wake DD while I'm in the shower in the morning before it would ever wake him
