? for a friend that is having Twins

Can the babies share a crib? what if the mom wants a co-sleeper? Space is limited in their home, so I think that is a factor as well. Of course, safety above all. 

Best cribs?

TIA

Sure, they can share a crib for a short time when they are first born and swaddled. Mine grew so fast, we had to separate them at about 3 months. They started rolling around then, too so swaddling and crib sharing were no longer as safe. Idk if there is a "best" crib. Depends on personal preference and/or price. We got the sundvik cribs from ikea. They have a decent variety. I don't know about a co-sleeper, we never used one.

Our girls are 11 weeks old and share a crib. But they're getting bigger and more wiggly, so we think we'll have to separate them by 3 months.

My 6 wo twins currently share a pack n play at the foot of my bed. I agree with pp that around 3 months seems like a good time to separate.

We have triplets that came home from NICU 6-8 wks old. They were in separate beds asap. 1 was moved to a different room around 6 MO old bc he was making funny noises. We just separated the other 2 into different rooms 2 months ago. They are now 14 mos.

Ours will be in a pack and play in our room at first until they're sleeping longer stretches because their room is so far from ours. We got two cribs so they'll be sleeping separately once they're moved into their room.
