Twin sleep together or apart?

Katiecooky

Do you sleep your twins in the same bed or apart? They would be use to having the other poking them from being inside the womb but does it change when they're out?

Mine slept together until around 4 months old. At that point they started squirming around until they were really close to each other and usually one of their faces wound up right up against the other baby. I was concerned they might accidentally suffocate at that point so I separated them. I think most people with twins do let them sleep together in the beginning.

My boys still sleep together at a little over 4 months. They wake within 10 minutes if we separate them!

I was prepared to put my twins in the same crib at first, but our first night home we just tried putting them in their own cribs and they slept great so we kept them that way. Every baby and every twin dynamic is different though (ours seem very "aloof" to each other lol) so you'll probably just have to discover what works best for you!

We tried, but ours hated it and slept better separated...guess they had too much "togetherness" on the inside haha!
Eta: they do and always have slept in the same room, just not the same bed.

Ditto this.
If I put them on the floor together, they gravitate towards one another, and seem to enjoy "touching" each other, but for now they still sleep in rnps, their reflux is still too bad to lie flat yet.

This exactly. They wake each other up all the time, but love being together when awake.

Ours slept in RnPs from night 1 at home. We just moved them into their cribs a week ago, and naturally, we put them in separate cribs since they weren't used to sleeping together anyway. They are in the same room though...

Interesting people! Thanks for your feedback.. I guess we will just play it by ear.. :

Mine would only sleep together until about 5 months then all of a sudden WOULDN'T sleep together, they would wake each other up, after only 5 mins.

Our girls still sleep in the same crib together, we have not had any issues yet.

Mine still sleep together sometimes. They do wake each other up at times, but it's more for convience (both in the co-sleeper) so I don't have to get out of bed when they start fussing. My daughter likes to have someone with her always, so she is able to fall back to sleep more easily when my son is there. My son on the other hand does not seem to care either way.

Mine slept separate in the snug a bunny seats until 5 weeks, then together swaddled until 11 weeks.  Then we separated them and put them in sleep sacks, 2 nights later they sttn.

My twins slept together in a PNP in our room until they were 5 months old. Once they started rolling over, I separated them & transitioned to their cribs in the same room.

Mine are 8 weeks old today and sleep in the same crib. However, there have been some nights that they end up sleeping in two RnP's and do fine. Our reason is a space issue as we live in a 2 bedroom townhouse and we are not ready to put the babies in our toddler's room yet. So we have one crib in our room. If they are really fussy during the day, I lay them in the same boppy and they instantly go to sleep or at least get quiet! I guess they like each other!
