Crib questions
1.Where did you find your crib? A superstore like BRU or local baby store, etc?
2.When did you start sleeping your twins in their crib(s)? We will be using a PNP initially, but wondered when yours moved to their crib(s).
3.What crib brand did you purchase? Would you recommend? Any issues that would prevent you from recommending?
4.At what week did you put up your crib(s)? Or, did you wait until after babies arrived?
5.Did any of you use a twin bassinet/PNP? BRU has a Graco twin PNP available and was curious to see if any of you had one of these.
Thanks so much!!

Re: Crib questions
Hey Jill!!
1.Where did you find your crib? A superstore like BRU or local baby store, etc?
We got the Davinci Kalani cribs from BRU
2.When did you start sleeping your twins in their crib(s)? We will be using a PNP initially, but wondered when yours moved to their crib(s)
Ours were never in a PNP. Cribs from the start. At first all three were in one crib, then at 8 weeks we moved one to his own crib. We still have two in one crib and will for probably another month. I do keep a PNP on the first floor of our house for impromptu naps and such.
3.What crib brand did you purchase? Would you recommend? Any issues that would prevent you from recommending?
See above. We like it alot.
4.At what week did you put up your crib(s)? Or, did you wait until after babies arrived?
We put ours up when I was 26 weeks.
5.Did any of you use a twin bassinet/PNP? BRU has a Graco twin PNP available and was curious to see if any of you had one of these.
Nope. I have three single PNP's.
We bought our cribs at BRU. They were the Jardine cribs that were recalled over the summer. We decided to go with a completely different brand and found what we thought were nice Graco cribs until one of the slats broke last night!! Unfortunately, I'm finding that inexpensive cribs seem to be pieces of crap.
We had a variety of sleeping arrangements over the first few months but one baby slept in a crib to being with.
We already had one crib set up before I was pregnant. We didn't set up the other two for awhile - we moved when the girls were 6 months old.

2.When did you start sleeping your twins in their crib(s)? We will be using a PNP initially, but wondered when yours moved to their crib(s).
Consistently at about 7 weeks. We planned on using an Arm's Reach co-sleeper in our room for a while. However, we wound up getting a night nurse to help with the girls so our room didn't make any sense. Up until 7 weeks or so they would occasionally sleep in their cribs, but we wound up using their boppy bouncers a lot because they slept better in them.
3.What crib brand did you purchase? Would you recommend? Any issues that would prevent you from recommending?
We have the white Ikea Gulliver cribs. I love them! They are very simple, yet convert to a toddler bed...all for $100 a piece.
4.At what week did you put up your crib(s)? Or, did you wait until after babies arrived?
At this point (DDs are 8 weeks) we only have one crib up. I think DH put it up around 31 weeks.
5.Did any of you use a twin bassinet/PNP? BRU has a Graco twin PNP available and was curious to see if any of you had one of these.
We have the Arm's Reach co-sleeper (original, not the mini). I really like it because there is plenty of room for both babies to be together.
