Nursery Door

[noodleskooze]

Open or closed? Why?

[spk926]

Closed because she goes to bed at 7pm and we don't! Also for fire safety it's better for doors to be closed.

[GracieLouFreebush1]

Closed but we use one of these to make it easy to check on her w/o waking her.

ETA: It's open until she falls asleep b/c she gets afraid otherwise.  Then I close it to keep the noise level down since we're still awake and eventually I'll be up throughout the night w/ DD2.  Also, fire.

[ginkgoleaf]

Closed, for sound/light control and to keep the pets out of his room.

[Willis Jackson]

Closed.

Cat, sibling, noise, fire.

[Deleted]

Closed, for light/sound control, and to keep the heat in that room (the adjacent hallway has no heating vent).

[kangaroo11]

Closed. Sometimes she will randomly cry for 5 seconds in the middle of the night, waking me, but she goes right back to sleep. I don't, so closed door helps. If she's really upset, she will cry loudly enough for me to hear.

[glitzy07]

Closed, or else he'd have a cat friend in his crib. And light/noise like everyone else said.

We have this too.  I love it!  The nursery door is always closed for naps and bedtime.

[callie]

Closed for noise control.

[Deleted]

Closed during the day for naps because the dog likes to go visit.
Open at night for no reason other than we've always left it open at night.

[curbsideprophet]

Closed

Noise, cat, fire, etc

[wonderfezz]

Closed. Noise, cats, lights, second floor, fires.

Just went and ordered two of those! Your post reminded me that I wanted to do that. Thanks!

[water*drop]

Closed - cat, noise, and fire protection.

[gibbinator]

Closed, because a) cats b) sound travels in our house like woah and c) Any lights downstairs light up his room

[brooklyn]

Closed for naps, cracked open for bedtime since he goes to sleep hours before us and we share a room

[rupertpenny]

Open, we have old door knobs and they don't latch very well. Also, although the cats mostly stay out of the nursery, especially if she is sleeping, they see a closed door as a challenge. The will paw at it and shake the door and create enough noise to wake the whole neighborhood.

[bunch]

Closed until we go to bed, then opened because we heat mostly with a wood stove.

Ditto except for the wood stove. Our heat circulates better with air flow.

I do sometimes close between his last night feeding and the morning in case H is too noisy when he gets up in the morning. I'm pretty sure it doesn't make a difference.

I do the exact same thing. Also so that she doesn't wake her sis if she gets up early.

[emisi]

Closed, because my cats love the crib for whatever reason. Plus sound and light control. I have a camera in there if I want to check on him (I say it's part of the UK theme we did for the nursery).

[shellbear09]

Open for better air flow. We do have a gate to keep out pets.

[pamela]

When he was a baby, we kept it open so we could hear him and better airflow. His room connected to ours with the bathroom, so once we went to bed, we closed the doors from both of our rooms to the rest of the house to keep the dogs out and kept the bathroom doors open.

[redheadk]

Closed. Light, noise, fire safety, DOGS.

I used to open it when I went to bed at night and she was still waking a few times a night (then would be asleep when I put her back in the RNP).

[Deleted]

Closed

[spanikopita]

Closed bc her loud ass brother is right next door.

[rex]

always closed.

it never occurred to me to keep it open, but it's also right off our living room. she is asleep by 7 and I'm not about to sit in the quiet!

[dcn]

We close it for naps, and at bedtime. We open it when we go to bed bc his room is tiny and even with the humidifier on low it gets super humid in there with the door closed all night.

[MadamePresident]

We leave the door mostly closed, but not latched. When Nods wakes up in the middle of the night, I make her come to me in my room to nurse.

[teatimefor2]

Closed for noise and fire protection.
