Separate rooms or together?

My girls are 15 months and waking one another up during naps and in the middle of the night...I am seriously considering separating them-we do have a 3rd bedroom that is used as an office and we would have a lot of moving around to do, but I am at my wits end with lack of sleep and get anxiety every time someone wakes up screaming...it has been going on for over a month now and I don't know what else to do.

So-I was wondering-are your twins together or separate and when did you separate them? Was it an issue for them or more for the parents?

 

Mine sleep in the same room and have done since birth (we dont have a spare room so they have no choice!) They dont wake each other up during nap or night time in fact Jack will not sleep unless sophie is in the room. We will have to seperate them at some poiint but for just now they are quite happy. IMO i think it sounds like the definetly need to be seperated, stop you having to run back and forth each night and maybe help them sleep better. Good luck with what you decide x

 

We separated them at 6 months, they were getting too big to share a crib. Luke adjusted fine to his new room, he did not miss a beat. Sophia took a couple of days to adjust to not having Luke there but once she did, she was also fine. Good luck with your decision.

 

My twins are in separate rooms and have been since about 7 months old. It has worked great for us. Emilie sleeps later in the morning and Trevor takes a longer nap, so they do no wake each other up. :good:

WE seperated our two at 6 months also, again one sleeps later than the other, it works out best for us good luck...

 

We seperated our twin boys around 2 years, they did really well apart. We just had to put them back together ( they just turned 3) because we are having another baby and needed the room for the nursery. They are not doing well back together <_< They won't go to sleep and think it is a big fun game. If I did not need the other room I would pull them apart again in a min!

 

Do it! We finally did about a month ago, and their sleep has been so much better at night.

 

Mine are separated (since 6 months) for naps but not nighttime. One of them naps in the office, but we don't have an extra bedroom.

If I could have done separate bedroom at 6 months, I probably would have, because I was so panicked about them waking each other up. However, they have really always done fine at night. Now that they're older, they definitely keep each other up awhile (longer than they would otherwise be awake) after bedtime -- but once they're out, they're still out for the night. If they had separate bedrooms, Sarah would sleep a little later in the morning -- but since I'd have to wake her up for daycare anyway, it's not that much of a difference from letting Amy wake her up.

So, in our case, separating for naps has been essential -- for night time would be nice, but now that they're used to being together, even if we had another bedroom they would never stand for it. They love their time at bedtime to chat.
