    Smile Do your twins share a cot?

    Hi everyone, i'm just curious do your twins share a cot?? And to what age did they?
    Our girls are 5months old now and share a cot after upgrading from a large cradle. I guess it just depends on the child/ren as to when they need their own but at the moment we only have one cot and they seem pretty happy sleeping next to each other (think they sleep better knowing their sister is next to them).

    Mine shared a cot for the first few months, until they started disturbing each other in the night. After that I put their cots side by side, and now they are in beds they still sleep side by side (twin beds pushed together) and often touching each other as they sleep. Its a closeness I would hate to deprive them of.

    Its so sweet isnt it! When the girls were newborn one could be screaming in the others face and she'd sleep through it! But now they sometimes wake up. They do tend to sleep more settled next to each other. My younger twin likes to touch the older one or put her hands in her mouth LOL.

    Thank you.

    my nieces started off solo, but slept better together, and now share a room (they are 5.5)
