What did your nb twins sleep in?

We are trying to decide if we want them to just go straight to the crib in the nursery when they get home, in a large bassinet or in the play yard.

What did you have your twins sleep in when you brought them home?

    Anywhere they'd sleep Smile

    Changing pad on the PNP
    Basinette on the PNP
    Bottom of the PNP
    Bouncies
    Swings
    Beside us in bed in the crook of our arm
    Belly to belly on us in bed or on the couch

    Finally at 2.5 months they consistently slept in their crib.  I guess my point is you can have a plan (and I LOVED our PNP!!!) but ultimately be prepared to do whatever works for them to sleep.  Flexibility is a good thing Smile

    Mine will only sleep in their bouncers or propped on the boppy or while being held.  They will not sleep in their cribs, pack-n-play or co-sleeper.

    i agree with the above posting, but wherever they lie let them lie is the way we did it.  sometimes they slept in swings or top on of our belly. we planned for them to sleep in pnp when they first got home but it took a long time for them to sleep in there. so just be flexible and let them sleep where they are most comfortable, b/c it may not be where you intended them to sleep.  so just be flexible and you will figure out where they are most comfortable.  good luck!!

    At night they slept in an Arm's Reach co-sleeper next to us.. or in bed on us if necessary.  Now they sleep in their crib.  During the day they slept in their boppy, swing, bouncer, or pnp.

    They napped anywhere but at night we put them in their crib on night 3.  The first 2 nights, we had them in our room w/ us (moses bed and bassinett) but dh and I slept like crap!

    Arm's Reach Original Cosleeper, but we quickly discovered we couldn't get any sleep in the same room as the babies so we moved them to their cribs.
    Though they also slept a lot in the bouncy, by your side infant seat, or rainforest swing.

    Mine had reflux and couldn't sleep lying flat.  They slept the first few months in bouncy seats, we put both bouncies into an arms reach cosleeper next to the bed at night, DD always slept in the swing for naps.  They didn't transition to their room til 3 months and not to flat in the cribs til more like 5 months.

    My plan was to have them in the bassinet (together) until their combined weight exceeded 15 lbs. and then one would be in the bassinet and the other in the Moses basket.

    Reality has been/is.... they're in their swings most all the time they're sleeping.  A few times one has been asleep after I nursed and hasn't woken up when I put them down, so s/he slept on our bed which is where I nurse them.  After about 1 week old, they WILL NOT sleep flat on their backs. 

    Our older two were like that as well, so I'm not worried.  Older two sleep great now and both of them transitioned to the crib around 5 months (maybe?) with no problem.  We just had to buy a lot of batteries for the swings.
