That makes more sense and actually is very relevant in our nursery-- I'll have to go into the room and have DH make noise in our bedroom to see if I can hear-- it's either against the wall that butts up against our room, or against a stairwell. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-under-a-vent#post-760117 Fri, 03 May 2013 14:38:44 +0000 Boheme 760117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sotomorrow: @Foodnerd81: I asked DH and I had it wrong - he had heard to place the crib against the wall where the least activity/noise is going on. If we put the crib against any other wall it would be right next to a wall shared with a common area such as our living room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-under-a-vent#post-760099 Fri, 03 May 2013 14:29:52 +0000 lilyann 760099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have DS's crib under a vent, not directly but close enough to effect the temp of the room instantly. Not going to lie, I obsessively watch his video monitor to check the temp in his room and adjust our thermostat all of the time to accomodate! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-under-a-vent#post-760097 Fri, 03 May 2013 14:29:21 +0000 dagret 760097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: I have L's crib next to a vent on the floor like @weagle - for the same reason - it's the only interior wall. No problems so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-under-a-vent#post-760092 Fri, 03 May 2013 14:25:27 +0000 Foodnerd81 760092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: @sotomorrow: I'm curious about it being on the wall when you walk in, too. It's not actually an option with the layout of our nursery, but why is that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-under-a-vent#post-760040 Fri, 03 May 2013 14:08:26 +0000 Weagle 760040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our vents are on the floor, but the crib is right beside it. It's the only interior wall, which is where I wanted the crib placed. (Not the wall you see when you walk in, though.). We've just directed the vent away from the crib, and it has never bothered her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-under-a-vent#post-759998 Fri, 03 May 2013 13:46:38 +0000 sotomorrow 759998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would move it. The air constantly changing may disturb sleep. </p> <p>I've never read about it being on the wall you see when you walk in.... did anyone give a reason why? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-under-a-vent#post-759353 Fri, 03 May 2013 09:42:50 +0000 Boheme 759353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know how I missed this, but we put LO's crib on the wall you see immediately when you walk in to his room...Last night we noticed its directly below a vent! Should we leave it as is or change it? I don't want him to get too hot or cold, or have it blowing directly on him. I have read a couple of places that it should be on the wall you see when you walk in but we weren't sure if the vent placement negates that.</p> <p>*PS - Thank you all for entertaining all my silly first time mom questions like this :) </p>
