baby's door open or closed?

ketamarie · April 2009

Just curious what everyone else is doing.

jenifairies · April 2009

i leave it closed. that's because dh has a bajillion alarms that blast and wake her if i leave it open. otherwise i would leave it open.

JessMil10 · April 2009

I leave both her door and ours open at night, even though they are right next to each other and she is 20 feet away. It makes me feel better for some reason and there are less things to bump into when I get up with her in the middle of the night.

We leave doors open at night.

weebaby · April 2009

open at night

jamie5315 · April 2009

I leave it cracked a little?

ironmommy · April 2009

closed

WifeofaMarine · April 2009

We leave it closed because we have four cats and though they seem fine with DS, I don't trust them not to jump in his crib. I don't think they'd ever do anything, but I don't want to take that chance when we are sleeping. I think they'd think the crib is there's since they think anything with four walls is for them.

cracked to keep the dog/noise out & air circulation flowing

tqsbride · April 2009

My door is wide open, baby's door is cracked.

yo.mama · April 2009

I keep DD's door closed to keep out our cat. If we did not have our precious kitty, then I would keep it open. Smile

gb!

Open at night and closed at nap time.

Elana71 · April 2009

Open overnight and closed during naps

mrs.Lucky531 · April 2009

Closed at nap time, open at night and our door is open at night. We can't use a monitor in our apartment b/c of interference. When we move into our house we'll probably close both doors and use a monitor.

Sunflower22 · April 2009

Open with a baby gate in it to keep the cats out. Our door is cracked at night so the cats can get in/out of our room.

Exactly.

Except as a kid, we all always slept with our doors closed, since my parents said it was safer that way incase of a fire. Not sure if that's true or not, though...

crzygirl · April 2009

Baby's door closed and my door closed

sugarcube · April 2009

Closed for naps and closed at night. Our door is closed too. We use a monitor.

This is exactly why we keep her door closed. If there were a fire in the house, the door would delay it getting into her room. I was always taught this growing up.

Mrs Woman · April 2009

Closed. We have a small house and my DH is loud!

Ok, good! I'm glad someone else has heard of this/done this...I was beginning to wonder since it sounds like many leave their doors open.

skoorbnibor · April 2009

always closed. We had a house fire in my parents house and learned very quickly that a closed door can save a life.

Our door is closed, too, but that is why we have a monitor.

mrs.george2be04 · April 2009

All bedroom doors closed to keep the cats out.

silvurturtle · April 2009

Our door open but her door cracked about 2 inches.

JaysGrl32903 · April 2009

Her door closed to keep noise/light out, her crib is right by the door. Our door closed to keep the dog in our room at night. Good to know that it's safer that way too (if there's a fire).

CFO · April 2009

Hers is closed, ours is cracked. The dogs like to wander in her room and thump their tails around, and can wake her up.

But now that I'm reminded of the fire issue, all the more reason to keep it closed...

murphyec · April 2009

closed. We have kitties that love that room, plus dogs that sometimes bark at night. So closed with a sound machine.

mamamoos · April 2009

cracked during naps and when i first put him to bed, but i open it all the way when DH and i go to bed bc we no longer use the monitor since he's right across the hall...
