It is not recommended to lock a child's door at night to prevent sleepwalking, as it can be dangerous if the child is sleepwalking and can't open the door.
Additionally, locking a child's door can also create an unsafe environment in case of an emergency, fire or other unexpected situations.
Instead of locking the door, you can use baby monitors to keep an ear out for any movement during the night, or you can gently guide your child back to bed if they get up during the night.
It's also important to create a safe and comfortable sleeping environment for your child, including a regular sleep schedule, keeping the room cool, dark, and quiet, and addressing any underlying medical conditions that may contribute to sleepwalking.
If your child's sleepwalking is frequent and causing problems, it's best to consult with a pediatrician or sleep specialist to rule out any underlying conditions that could be contributing to it.
