having their own room

I keep going back and forth on this.... A few months before getting pregnant I fully furnished the guest room.
so now the babies share the same room.
It is right across from each other so even if I did separete them I still think whenever I did CIO they would
still wake each other up...
now I have my dd sleep on the pack and play for naps...but I feel bad.

what did you do with your furniture if you gave them their own room?

I feel so bad when one falls asleep and the otherone kepps on yapping or crying and wakes the other one up...
I couldn't fall asleep if someone was crying next to me.... I feel bad expecting that they would...

 

My two have shared a crib & a room right from the start. Now they are in their own beds (some of the time, anyway) but still share a room. We've never really had too much trouble with them waking each other up. In the mornings they will wake each other, but I don't mind that because I've always wanted to keep them on the same schedule anyway.

 

My two have always shared a room. We have a spare bedroom but I think mine like being in the room together. They sleep through each other's cries 99% of the time. I don't know what we would do with the furniture in our spare bedroom if we decided to use it for one of the babies. I guess we'd get rid of it/move it to our back room.

 

Same here. We have no issues and to this day when one cries, it rarely wakes the other. We have 2 twin beds in their room, along with a dresser and an armoire. It's tight, but it works.

 

Mine have been in separate rooms since 6 months old. Their rooms are next to each other and I can say that they do not wake each other up. Their rooms are sparsely furnished (we have small rooms, which is why they don't share). DD's room has her crib, an attached changing table, dresser and rocking chair. DD's room just has his crib and dresser and a tiny decorative bench. They might surprise you, they may not wake each other up at all. Good luck with whatever you decide!

 

My boys have shared a room since the beginning...well when they finally slept in their cribs around 5 months. In the NICU there was a baby next to them that was being weaned from oxycotin (sp?) and screamed all the time. They learned VERY early on to sleep through cries. Even just yesterday, Jake slept through Ryan crying, then me changing his diaper and him crying/talking for the next 30 mins before I finally decided he just wasn't going to nap. I can't believe how much they can sleep through. BUT the only way to get them used to it is for it to wake them up a few times.

Do you have overnight guests often? When people come visit us they stay for at least a week so we really need our guest bedroom. The boys will be sharing a room until we can afford a house with a ton of bedrooms or till they go to college...whichever comes first! :rofl:

 

We learned very early on that when left alone, twins will become immune to the crying of the other twin. LOL Like the other posters here, my twins only wake each other up in the morning when they would be ready to get up any way and by then I don't mind.

 

I would keep the guest room. But my twins rarely woke each other up (and I had one who woke crying every single night until 13 months). When they were toddlers, unexpected fussing from one would wake the other, but they'd go right back to sleep.

We did always nap them separately. One napped in a PNP until she gave up naps altogether at about 3y3m, and it didn't seem to hurt her. Don't feel guilty.

I would kill to have a guest room. Ours are in the same room because the "extra bedroom" is our home office, which we really need. When my parents come to visit us, they have to sleep in the living room. (No one else comes to visit us, because we don't have a guest room!)
