Cribs

I have also read that they do better sleeping together. But they were not
kept together in the NICU. But when they came home I put a pack n play next
to our bed. It has the full bottom that raises up for a bassinet. All
three of my children slept in it until they got too big for all three in it.
Now they all sleep in a play pen downstairs, and one crib upstairs. They
are 3 months old. I believe they will continue this way until they get too
big, or they start bothering each other. However, my children don't seem to
mind the change if I have one of them sleeping by themselves.

Hello everyone. Tara and I (Craig) are having twin girls in the beginning
of
march. We are in the process of looking at cribs, basinets etc. I have
read
some articles recently that suggest that twins are happier and healthier
if
they sleep together. Can any of you share your experiences in this matter
and weather you think we should get one crib, two cribs or maybe (though
we
have not really seen any from major crib manufacturers) twin cribs? Thanks
for your help. Tara and Craig

My two have always slept in separate cribs, except for the rare
occasion when they slept at nana's house. I'm glad we did, because
once they got to be 3-4 months and started moving around, there would
always be a foot in someone's face - or a bum! They have never had
any trouble sleeping apart. If you do get them at BRU make sure you
ask for the discount - they won't ask you if you want it! My boys are
almost two and I'm planning on keeping them in the cribs for as long
as possible - is 18 years too long? . We bought the cribs that
convert to a toddler/day bed, and then a full size bed, so we never
have to buy furniture for them again - which I think is a pretty big
cost savings!

Good luck with the babies! Enjoy every minute of them - it goes way
to fast.
