intro and a sleeping question :-)

Hi everyone-

I am 15 week pregnant with twins.  We are beyond thrilled! I have been lurking for awhile and have already learned so much from you all- thank you!

My question is- where did you have your twins sleep the first few weeks at home?

Were they in cribs from the get-go or did you have them in something smaller in your own room in the beginning?  My gut is to have the babies in our room but I'm not 100% sure what to put them in that is the safest.

Thanks in advance!

Since our nursery is thisclose to our bedroom, we are planning to have them in the nursery and in the same crib until they can roll or until they start bugging each other.  I figure my nursing chair and the other rocker are both in the nursery, so it wouldn't do a whole lot of good to have them in our room anyway.

PNP in our room.  I can't imagine having them further away, especially at first.  Oh lord, that first night......if I could have climbed in there with them, I would have!  At 3 weeks old, we moved them into their nursery and they shared a crib.  At 6 weeks, they went into their own cribs, and at 5 months, they had to move to their own rooms (sad).  They were waking each other up too much.

Their nursery was right next to our room so ours came home from the hospital and went to their separate cribs. I know alot of MoMs like the Arms reach co sleeper (I think thats the name).

I think I'm in the minority, but we had ours in cribs from the day we brought them home.  Granted, they were in the NICU for 2 weeks, so I'm not sure how I woudl have felt if they came home right away.  Having literally every breath and heartbeat monitored in the hospital, I felt comfortable they'd be okay in their room.  THey shared a crib until 10w when they just got too squirmy. 

Their nursery was across the house, so I'd recommend getting a night light and clearing a path.  I had several close calls with a random boppy while walking half asleep to nurse.

Hi, and congrats!  We used the twin pack n play w/ a double bassinet in our room

congrats and welcome! 

the boys started in one crib in our room. then when they started sleeping a little longer (around 8 weeks) we moved them into their own room and their own cribs. they were in our room just for the sheer reason that it was much easier to not have to go anywhere cause they were eating so often (every 3 hrs). it was exhausting enough.

Thank you all so much!

For those of you that used the PNP- was it the graco one with the twin bassinets?

 

Thanks again!
