Just curious. We have a tendency to misplace pacis so they're all over the house. We rarely remember whose is whose, and honestly, even if we did I don't know that we'd care! When a paci is needed, it's usually reeeeally needed. Is that gross?
We don't interchange bottles, so I guess we have our line.
When ours used paci's they were color coded. I typically wouldn't share the nipple part of the bottle but would sometime take the top off one and put it on the other for the one baby to have more. And now at 9 months I keep them separate and try to use different spoons when feeding them.
By the time my duo were mobile, they were swapping bottles all.the.time. I tried to color-code them and keep them separate one time when N was sick.....didn't work. L actually stayed healthy, though. They definitely have a "what's yours is mine" mentality when it comes to their sippy cups now too.
I didn't even try w/ pacis. But they didn't use them much anyway.
We didn't share, but they also only took pacis for about 6m. Well, they did share in the sense that I'd wash it and give it to whoever, but it did get washed if I wasn't sure who had it in their mouth last.
Same with bottles/sippies and spoons - they each have their own but then it gets washed and re-allocated.

Share pacis and bottles. Besides, if I can feed one, then refill the bottle (I use the Brezza Formula Pro), it's one less bottle I have to wash!! They try to eat each others' hands, anyway.

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans for hope and a future" Jer 29:11

"I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of salvation unto all who believe" Rom 1:16
Occasionally, but I also have a color system (easy because I have b/g twins), but I also put a pacificer hook thing on so it's really easy to track them. Your twins might be too young for that because they sleep so much, but you could use them low on their clothes so it doesn't get near their neck.
Shared. Now I only have one who takes it. We swapped sides at each feeding too, so it never really mattered. I did try to sterilize all the pacis once a day or so. When they were newborns, I had a paci in each "station"- swing, RNPs, bouncer, carseats... It really helped me keep up with them. Then at night before I put them down I'd do a roundup and toss them all in a sterilizer bag.
We didn't very often when they were younger, but now (10m) they're taking each other's stuff anyway, so they share everything. We do have bottles color coded, but it's a battle not worth fighting.
