I can't. Aliyn doesn't wake up yelling or crying. If I shut her door I wouldn't hear her. She quietly babbles and plays with her 'raffie'. If she thinks you haven't heard her in an acceptable time frame she will start singing though.

Both doors closed, mine open. All bedrooms are upstairs and I can hear either child even over my fans. Besides my 4yr old rarely stays in his room anyways lol

All four bedroom doors closed

I leave it cracked a little, really bc if I close it I'll probably wake him up.. Plus then I don't have to worry about how much noise I make in the kitchen.. And I have a video monitor so I can see him

My older boys don't have doors, my daughter wants her door open and the youngest wants his closed.

@mackenzie

That's true. Closed doors can prevent flames from spreading. ?

A closed door can mean precious seconds that can be life or death in the event of a fire.

Her door stays open. It gets too cold in her room when the door is closed. My door stays open too. I have a cat but she doesn't bother us while we're sleeping.

I shut her door. She's 1.5 years old and I keep the video monitor on all night for when/if she wakes up. We have three cats plus my DF sounds like a big ol grizzly bear snoring in the middle of the night.

We keep the door open. My 3 year old dd gets scared if we close it.

I shut the door. We have a video monitor. We didn't used to shut our bedroom door, but we moved and now we do.

All doors stay open. Ss has asthma so we need to hear if he starts coughing/ wheezing in the night. I can't stand monitors. I always wake up even if the boys just talk in their sleep or roll over.

No. They door stays open and mine too

I do now that she can open her door by herself but I didn't when she couldn't.

We keep all the doors open. Our cats like to bed-hop, and our 3-year-old will still occasionally come to our bed in the middle of the night. I think door open vs closed is mostly a matter of personal preference.
