If you kept the babies in your room for a bit in the beginning, what did you keep them in?

We are thinking about an arms reach co-sleeper but will all three fit in that safely?

I won't be helpful here - we put them in their room from the beginning. Babies make a LOT of noise, ha ha. But their room was only a few feet from ours, so we didn't have to go very far to get them.

I don't have any experience (well besides that of my singleton), but we plan on getting the arms reach cosleeper. I've read that other triplet moms have used it successfully. Our house is tiny and a 2 bedroom so they will sleep in our room for at least the first few months so they don't wake DD. She also slept with us for a few months until she got too loud (sleeping, not crying) and we moved her to her crib.

I want to do this but the nursery is on the second floor and the master bedroom is on the first. I just don't think I am going to want to walk upstairs in the middle of the night!

We also kept them in their room from the beginning, But with your first floor master it would be easier to keep them with you. Pack n Plays I would say would be the best or move yourself upstair for awhile.

We tried bassinets next to our bed but the babies hated them. They all slept in our bed, between DH and I. Xander and Hayden moved to their own room about a month later, Lily was our clingy baby and stayed in our bed another couple of months more. It was a tight squeeze in our QUEEN bed but we did it.

we are going to try to use the arms reach co-sleeper b/c it can hold up to 30 pounds. We will also have a pack n play if we need to separate them.

We put a crib in our room the first night we had two home. The second night they were all home we put them in the living room in their crib. They made so much noise that the little sleep we did get was constantly interrupted.

I should add that when they were in the crib together we put them in positioners. After about a week of them being home we had to take them out of the positioners and into their own cribs in their room. They move around so much. When we wake up one of the little guys has his legs sticking out of the crib.
