Do Your Twins Share a Room?

Our boys have shared a room since birth. Its never really been a problem since one can sleep through the other's crying. Sometimes I'll even find them sleeping in the same bed. For the past year or so we've put Noah to bed first; if Aiden is in there he'll want to talk while Aiden will want to sleep. When Noah's alone he falls asleep in 10 minutes, and then Aiden goes to bed. Noah's also my early riser, and he's pretty good about coming into our room in the morning and letting Aiden sleep.

Now naps have been nonexistant since they were two because they just kept each other up. I wish we had had seperate places for naps.

 

same room for nap and nights since they were born. they spent the first 2 months in our room with us and then we moved them to seperate cribs in their room. we have no choice. do they wake each other up sometimes? yes. but, overall they have learned to sleep together in the same room. i swear lorien can't fall asleep without arwens constant talking :lol: . usually when one is sick and wakes up crying, it will sometimes wake the other up but 9 out of 10 times they will go back to sleep. arwen is a good night time sleeper. lorien wakes up almost every night and just talks and sings and plays her side mobile in her crib and it doesn't ever wake arwen. they just get used to each other. they do often wake each other up in the morning but i kind of prefer that they wake at the same time because it makes it easier for me to try and keep them on the same nap schedule and give me a much needed break.

 

My girls share a room. They always have. It gets rough sometimes, when Mackenzie wants to read and Peyton tells her to be quiet because she is tired. Other times, they are in cahoots and will sneak downstairs together. I can hear them talking to one another discussing "the plan". But mostly it's fine. They rarely ever wake each other up if one is crying. I plan to keep them in the same room until they are teens and ask to seperate.

 

All my kids share a room... John is 6, and the twins will be 2. The twins go to bed at 7:15 and John goes to bed at 8:15. They sleep til about 6-6:30am. So far it is working for us and sometimes one will wake and cry but they usually do not wake each other up ion the process. Good luck!

 

Mine have always shared a room and completely got used to each other at night and naps. When one wakes, if I WANT the other awake I'll leave him in there to bounce around until he wakes him up Otherwise they don't wake each other. Joe's been banging on the window and jumping on his bed before at bedtime and when I went up there to put him down again Jake was sound asleep. When they want to sleep, they sleep! I also like the chatter between the two

 

Mine have shared a room from the start and will share a room indefinitely- we don't have the space to separate them. They DO nap separately, however, one in their room and one in a PNP in the den.
I think it's nice to have them share the space.. my mom said my sister and I were always forced to be more pleasant to each other whenever we shared a room, and I'm thinking that could be true for our boys. Plus they seem to enjoy the company.. they've started spending a good chunk of time giggling and babbling together at night before they fall asleep!
My main concern is that the room is quite small and has no closet- but so far storage is ok, and we'll deal with the need for more if/when it happens.

 

ours are in the same room and have been since 4 months (the first 3 months they were in swings in our room)...they sleep through each other without issue unless I have to flip on lights for someone but thats only happened once when DD puked all over me...I don't plan to go to toddler beds till closer to 3 and won't split them up probably till they hit kindergarten or so (or notice the differences in their anatomy!)

 

My girls has always shared a room since coming home. I know that during the night it comforting for them to know that the other is there.

 

Our DD moved to the nursery around 4 months old with no problem. DS was in out room in a regular crib will about 6 months old.
they were sleeping thru the night by 7 months.
I love them in the same room
i swear that my nap times are longer because they play around, than sleep than play more (in there cribs) before they start to fuss to get out.
and one can be screaming like crazy and the other one will just sleep right thru it.
we never had a problem with waking each other up.
good luck

They seem to be immune to each other's outbursts (but me entering the room on tiptoes to retrieve a cup for the dishwasher wakes them both).

This made me laugh because I can have one screaming his head off and the other doesn't stir but if I so much as breath too heavily at their door they wake up.

Mine shared a pnp for the first 8 weeks, and then moved to separate cribs in the same room. With another on the way, we have no option but to keep the boys together and so far no problems.
