She's a crazy light sleeper! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-door-open-or-closed#post-1151654 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 18:17:56 +0000 banana 1151654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always closed!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-door-open-or-closed#post-1151636 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 18:13:05 +0000 yin 1151636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We kept the door open for about 6 months. Then the weather got colder and closing the door made more sense to keep the heat in his room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-door-open-or-closed#post-1151618 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 18:02:31 +0000 Musicmomma82 1151618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely closed and we use white noise. Otherwise, he would hear the tv and other extraneous noises. He is a light sleeper!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-door-open-or-closed#post-1147675 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 14:30:22 +0000 winniebee 1147675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always closed and with very loud white noise! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-door-open-or-closed#post-1147673 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 14:28:41 +0000 MrsStar 1147673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's mostly closed (cracked open) but that's because the door makes a huge noise when you close it completely and because her room is beside ours, I try to limit the noise she will hear when dh leaves for work early in the mornings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-door-open-or-closed#post-1147650 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 14:04:23 +0000 skibobrown 1147650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Closed but cracked. In our new house we'll probably just do closed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-door-open-or-closed#post-1147641 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 13:54:00 +0000 jill_a55 1147641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@beaker: I've heard the same thing and kinda go by that. </p> <p>No LO yet, but I think it will be closed. We sleep with ours closed, and that's always how it's been for me growing up too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-door-open-or-closed#post-1147628 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 13:37:29 +0000 heartonastring 1147628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Closed to keep the cat (and the noise) out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-door-open-or-closed#post-1147626 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 13:31:33 +0000 hellobeeboston 1147626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We keep it closed until we go to bed then open it!

Keeps the cats out and the noise down. Her room is too close to the main area of the home </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-door-open-or-closed#post-1147606 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 13:11:19 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1147606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would leave Ellie's door open, but SHE prefers it closed!</p> <p>For Lorelei, her room is right at the top of the stairs (and she is the baby gate genie); so closed for safety, closed for noise, and also closed to keep our dog off of her floor bed. He loves to kiss her, but she has a hard time sleeping through that level of affection. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-door-open-or-closed#post-1147603 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 13:08:36 +0000 aprk 1147603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Open with a gate across the door since he's on a floor bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-door-open-or-closed#post-1147582 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 12:49:24 +0000 ALV91711 1147582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Open an inch or two as we don't use the monitor once we are in bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-door-open-or-closed#post-1147581 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 12:47:16 +0000 .twist. 1147581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Closed! For the same reason as everyone else. Noise. And our dog. Pacing and plopping in front of his door. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-door-open-or-closed#post-1147575 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 12:45:01 +0000 sunny 1147575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Closed.

During the day while he naps I close it all the way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-door-open-or-closed#post-1147483 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 10:48:09 +0000 lemondrop 1147483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always open, we turn down the TV some, but otherwise live normally after bedtime. We don't use the monitor often, and can hear him just fine if he wakes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-door-open-or-closed#post-1147473 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 10:24:41 +0000 autumnlove 1147473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Closed </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-door-open-or-closed#post-1147460 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 10:11:50 +0000 boots 1147460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We cosleep so she is always in our room.

I read at some point that closed bedroom doors can be a big protection from a fire elsewhere in the house... No idea if its true but that settled it for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-door-open-or-closed#post-1147416 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 09:03:44 +0000 sslm 1147416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Open at night, we don't use a monitor!
