Triplet Moms - sleeping situation question

Where did your babies sleep when they came home? Anyone use a Arm's Reach CoSleeper? How long were they able to stay in there before you moved them to their cribs?

If you didn't use the Co Sleeper, what did you do?

Our trio came home at 26 days, 33 days, and 35 days old. We tried to use bassinets next to our bed but the babies wouldn't sleep in them. So for a month all three slept in our bed, between DH and me. Xander and Hayden then went to their room and shared a crib. Lily still wasn't ready to leave our bed. At almost 4 mo old we finally got her into their room, she shared with Hayden and Xander got his own crib. At 6mo we put the girls in their own cribs too. They all still sleep in the same room.

I didn't have triplets, but our twins were in an arm's reach co-sleeper (full sized one) when they first came home and there was a ton of extra room so I think a third baby would fit. They still sleep together in the bassinet portion sometimes and if it weren't for the weight limit another baby would still have plenty of room.

mine slept in one crib in their room (about five feet from our room) from the day they came home. never in our room.

Our girls came home 4 weeks after they were born. They were in their own cribs in the nursery from day 1.

Two of mine came home after 6 days in the hospital and the other came home after 8 days in the hospital.

They slept all together in a mini crib in our room for the first 8 weeks or so. Sometimes, I would have to pull my biggest son out because he was a restless sleeper. I had a pack-n-play set up in our master bathroom and I would move him into the bassinet part of the pack-n-play if he was bothering the other two babies. (I would put the fan in the bathroon on -great white noise- and he would sleep much better.)

I moved them into their own room/cribs somewhere between 2 and 3 months. We had a lot of people staying with us and it was much easier for me to have the babies in my room when people were in town. We moved them out of our room once we had some privacy in the house.

When mine came home, we decided the best thing was to put one of their cribs in our bedroom, and they all slept in that together for their first 2 months. We could have used a PnP but since I had a c-section I wanted to not have to bend down as much. Around 2 months they started wiggling all over and waking each other up so we put them in their own rooms, and in their own cribs.

Thanks for all the responses. My side of our bed is literally about 6 feet from the nursery. I think we might just put them in their own room from day one and see how it goes.
