Sleep in same room

My mother mentioned that we may have to separate the twins into two rooms. They are around 7 1/2 months old and sleep in separate cribs. At night my daughter is the last to go down and does not wake her brother up. However I do have sometimes take her out of the room to calm her down so she doesn't. I know for naps we go in and get one or the other out so they don't wake the other up. But I was wondering if this was a phase because sometimes one or both have problems going down for the nap. It use to be that you could lay them down and both would go to sleep now they fuzz and finally go to sleep. I am afraid they may have to go to crying it out and going to sleep. Any advice would be great. I would like to know if both of your twins are still in there room or have they be separated and when that happened.

 

Mine are 2 1/2 and they still sleep in the same room. When they were little, I also worried about one waking the other, but they never seemed to. They could sleep though most anything because it was always so loud! LOL. In fact, wehn they were about 3-9 months old, I often ran the vacuum to get them to sleep.

Now, we do have to separate at nap time. DD sleeps in our room in a pack n play, while DS naps in their room. They like to party at naptime, but for some reason, they do fine at bedtime. They will sometimes talk for awhile and DS likes to yell "WAKE UP MIA" in the morning, but I'd like to keep them together for a bit longer, if we can.

Hope you can work something out.

 

They do get used to the other crying. We used to say that DS's cries put DD to sleep. They are 3.5 and still share a room.

 

My boys have always been together (and I joke will be until college). There was a time when Jake couldn't fall asleep unless Ryan was in the room (usually crying). They really got used to it and rarely wake each other up. Even now, when they call out for the sleeping sibling, they don't wake up. Yesterday, DH got Ryan up (an hour after Jake got up) and Ryan kept saying (in sign language) "Jake, sleeping" and we had to take him back into the room to show him Jake wasn't there. Can you tell who usually gets up first??

 

Mine are a little over 2 and still share a room. They learned early on to sleep through each others cries.

 

Mine have slept together at nights only since they were 3 months old. They have learned to sleep through each other´s cries. I seperate mine during the day as they have different sleep rhythms. I would do what you think is easiest and better for you as a family.

 

My b/g twins slept in the same crib for the first 6 months, just got to big to share. We moved them to seperate cribs, then shortly after seperate rooms. They are very different sleepers and we did not want to risk one waking the other up. It didn't really happen much a night but sure did at nap time, so we seperated them.

 

Mine are 4.5 and still sleep in the same bed. They are going to be in the same room until they move out of the house. Here in Mexico no one is "quiet" for a baby who is sleeping and as a result they sleep through everything. Crying, no problem. (Not that I ever let them cry in bed.)

 

My two are almost 3 and are still in the same room.

 

We separated ours at 9 months old (7 months corrected). We would have done it at about 5 months corrected if we could have (we moved into a bigger house that had more bedrooms which allowed us to separate them). It worked fantastic. We were finally able to let them fuss a bit and not worry about one waking the other. When they were 14 months (1 year corrected), we put them back in the same room. They were such great sleepers by then that we decided to try it. The first few days were rough but since then it's been completely fine. They are great sleepers but once in a while someone does cry / fuss...but they don't seem to wake the other one.

Separating at that age was perfect! And I'm glad they're back together now.

 

Mine shared a room until they were almost 3. They get used to hearing each other cry.

 

Thanks for the info I think we are going to rearrange their room and really try to pay attention to see whether or not it will affect them. I know that tonight my son is up and my daughter is asleep for now. We will see

 

Still sleeping in the same room (but we really have no choice). The girl can sleep through her brother's crying more so then her brother can sleep through her "talking." Now a days during naps, they are "talking" to each other from across the room. I just let them talk themselves to sleep. I would love for all 3 of my kids to have their own room, eventually.

 

Mine still share a room without problem.

 

MIne still share a room but separate cribs. For the longest time we hung a sheet down the middle of the room. It was hideous yes but if I had to stand at someones crib and help soothe them to sleep the other couldnt see me. They coudl hear each other but they coudlnt see each other (or me) and that made a huge difference.

When they were younger we would sometimes also put them to bed on a staggered schedule say 15 minutes or so.

I dont think they need to get different rooms - you just have to get creative

 

Our boys are still in the same room and we plan to keep it that way until they can tell us they want separate rooms. The other room is a playroom and that's worked out well. They rarely wake each other up. Mason is so used to Logan crying that he doesn't even notice. Mason sleeps much better and rarely cries so he has on occasion woke Logan. I did the same thing with trying to take them out of the room when they were fussing, now I know it really wasn't necessary. We do still have issues with naptime and haven't found a good solution, but at bedtime they don't fuss or talk to each other very long.

 

Mine still share a room and will until they express a preference to be separated (if they ever do). They do wake each other sometimes but I'm not convinced separate rooms are the answer because they also comfort each other if there is a scary noise or something. Now that they can get out of bed, I'm afraid they'd just wander over to their brother's room at all hours.
