Cribs

Mine have loved to punch and kick each other since they were conceived. They've been in separate cribs from birth.

 

My girls have slept separately from day one - first in their own bassinet and then in their own crib. We are actually now going to give them each their own room. One of them likes to go to bed late and sleep in; while the other one, goes to bed early and is an early bed.

Mine slept together until they were 4.5 months, then we separated them. They were moving around and stirring each other at that point.


Same here...that being said, if they were still happy sleeping in the same crib, I wouldn't have separated them. If it ain't broke, don't fix it?

 

Mine still sleep in the same crib. They both roll around the crib but it doesn't seem to bother either of them. I haven't even considered separating them anytime soon.

 

My girls still sleep together. I have had two cribs set up since before they were born, but they sleep better when they have one another, so I haven't moved one yet!

 

the only reason I had to separate them was because I wasn't getting any sleep. We had them in a co-sleeper next to our bed for the first 3 mo, but i was suffering from really bad PPD and didn't know it until I had a nervous breakdown from the sleep deprivation and anxiety. My husband made the decision, since I wasn't being rational, to move them into their nursery in their own cribs at 3 mo. I was convinced if I didn't have them in the smae room as me and I didn't stay up all night listening to them and making sure they were still breathing they would going to die from SIDS or something. I did get treatment for the PPD and transitioning from the same bed to sep beds wasn't an issue because they were too little to have really gotten very used to having the other one there with them while they slept. I think the longer they are with eachother the harder it would be to break the habit.

that's my two cents ^_^

 

My 3 month old twin girls have been sharing the co-sleeper since we brought them home from the hospital. It's amazing how one can be screaming while the other sleeps on peacefully.

 

we went through phases as they grew up. for the first 4 months they were in the same crib. then they were in a crib and a PNP. then we finally Had a second crib to put them in. i had read that it was "comforting" for them to be in the same crib. so i laid them in opposite corners and they kicked and squirmed until they were touching each other.

 

We had to separate when DS started rolling. He kept rolling onto DD and waking her or making her cry. They weren't getting any sleep, so we moved to two cribs.

 

We just started putting our girls in their own cribs 3 nights ago. One of them is still adjusting to it but once she finally goes to sleep they both sleep better.

 

Mine slept "together" (on the nursing pillow on me) until 14 weeks. DS scoots all over the place and they'd definitely wake each other up so I just put them in their own cribs when we got them off me to cut out a step later.

 

We seperated them because kylie was always stepping on and sitting on kaylen's head..she's a bully..lol =?

 

Mine are a little over 5 months and still sleep together in a pnp in my bedroom. I plan to move them to their bedroom at around 6 months, but will probably still let them sleep in the same crib, unless they really bother each other. They really seem to like having the other one there.

 

We also have our girls in their own crib and own room (not that we can spare that much room) but we all sleep better! One baby started sleeping through the night (12 hours) by 5 months. It was another 2-3 months before her sister did. I couldn't do CIO or even ignore a little whimper because they were waking eachother up! Plus my other girl was still feeding once during the night until she was just over 6 months old. It was much easier letting her cry and/or going in to take care of her needs without the worry or waking her sister
