Twins in separate bedrooms?

NJLH

Has anyone put their twins in separate nurseries? My girls are 10 months and wake each other nearly every night. I cant take the wake ups anymore. I''m not sure if separate rooms will help since the walls are thin. I'm being stubborn because I hate to take one of the cribs out of our pretty, decorated nursery and stick it in a guest room but I may have to consider. Has anyone else done this? Thanks

We are getting ready to do this as well bc my daughter constantly wakes up my son who would sleep through the night muchmore than he is doinig now. 

 We are going to wait until we get new living room furniture bc that will be another guest bed since we will lose a bedroom technically.

We went from sharing a crib to separate rooms. My intention was to put them back in the same room, but I am not sure if I can do that now. They would previously sleep through the other's cries, but now wake each other up. We only have one that STTN and it was almost immediately after we separated them. I'm still holding out hope that we can bring them back together once they both STTN. I thought they would miss the other when first separated, but honestly, it was harder on me. They do get excited to see each other in the morning, though.

Actually I would say the majority of MoMs I know IRL have their kids split up by the age of 3.  It's not an option for us, or we probably would have tried it at some point.

I feel better reading these. I feel like most twin moms I meet tell me they're twins dont wake each other. Mine wake at the slightest peep.

My girls were split up from about 7 months until 15 months.  We originally separated because I had one that was STTN and the other wasn't (and waking up her sister).   We just separated them temporarily and had one of the girls sleep in a PNP in the guest room with the intention of getting them back in the same room after they were both STTN.  Well, even after we managed to get them both STTN, we didn't successfully get them sleeping in the same room for awhile.  They simply didn't want to sleep in the same room and would scream/cry when we tried to do it.  Finally, one night when we randomly tried to give it another try, they didn't fuss at all and have been sleeping in the same room ever since.  Now they get upset if they are in separate rooms.  Go figure.

yes...we did it when they were a year old.  My son has been sleeping great since we split them up. 

DD still wakes up at least once a night though still, not sure if it has anything to do with her brother not being there...I don't think it does
