Sleeping arrangements for newborn twins?
Hi,
An interesting question probably for existing mums of twins.
I am expecting twins in May 2006 and we are trying to decide on the initial sleeping arrangements for the little ones.
Our son Declan slept in our room for the first 6 months (a little longer than we wanted but due to housing that was how it was). This time around we are considering co-sleeping with them in the room for the first 3 months in one cot with both babies in a seperate Tea-Tree (ti-tree?) snuggle bed liners. This would just economise on space. The babies will have their own room as they get older but due to the stress of getting up to them all the time and previous experience we thought this might be a good idea.
Any mums tried this ??
I know having bubs in the room is not to everyones liking so no need to tell me about that... just if you have done it how you worked it?
Thanks in advance

sleeping arrangements for newborn twins
Hi
My twins, Mia & Mitchell, are 4 1/2 months old and we had the same idea to put snuggle beds in one cot. Only problem we found was that 2 snuggle beds would not fit into one cot. So we put both babies in one cot head to head feet at each end. The first night they wriggled up until their heads met, soooo cute. They continued to do this so I assume it is a comfort thing.
This worked well for the first few months then we found that Mitchell was disturbing Mia as he is a restless sleeper. So now they are in separate cots in snuggle beds and at the moment sleeping really well.
Hope this helps!
Good luck
