[quote=Anonymous]We’ve had no problem with this, OP.  I have a 5 year old whose room is upstairs while our master is on the 1st floor.  We kept him in our room for the first 8 months since he was nursing and that helped me sleep.  Then he was in his own room, with a monitor on.  It was never a problem.  We could hear him fine on the monitor and go up when needed.

Now, at 5, we still use the monitor.  He switched to a twin bed from the crib at about 3.5 yrs and it was no problem at all.  We have a night light in the hallway and in the staircase and he sometimes comes down stairs to snuggle early in the AM.  A few times when he has been sick I have slept upstairs.  And it takes me just a second to get to him if he needs us.

What helped me realize it was NBD was reading about the importance of keeping bedroom doors closed at night.  It makes a HUGE difference in house fire survival.  So, it’s not like doors would be open even in adjacent rooms on the same floor.  One staircase away is not all that different than down the hall with doors shut anyway.
