sleeping in the same room

what do you think about keeping the twins in the same room in their own crib?
do you think they will wake each other up?
my husband gets up so quick when he hears the littlest peep come out of one of them. and he puts them in the other room on the bed.. which drives me crazy because its not going to be safe very long if he keeps dong that.. they will be moving around alot soon. one already does.
what do you all do? I say keep them in the same room and let them get used to their own noises.. we have a small house so it would be really hard to get another bedroom out ot here.
thoughts?

 

Mine have slept together up until last night (see post I just made).

No problems with them waking each other until they started really moving!! One would scream and the other would sleep right through!

 

Mine slept together only the first month or so in a bassinet then, they were moved into their room into their own beds. They usually sleep through each others cries if they wake up.

 

My babies were in the same crib until 6 months, and now in the same room, in separate cribs. They almost always sleep through each others cries.

 

Mine have always shared a room, they will be 6 years old in a few months. They don't disturb each other. As they have gotten older one would even be sick in the middle of the night and I could not believe the other didn't wake up. I am talking me changing sheets/pjs etc etc and not a peep from the other. Sometimes one will stir when the other wakes but they have always just gone back to sleep, I have never taken one out of the room (except of course when a bath is needed due to illness).

 

Ours sleep in the same room in separate cribs. They were in a pack-n-play bassinet together in our room for the first 8 weeks, but then we moved them to separate cribs once they started bumping into each other! They usually sleep through each other's noises. We have three bedrooms, but I don't anticipate separating them. I like having an office/guest bedroom and I think they will like sharing a room as they get older. -Leighann

 

I am struggling with this as well. Mine wake eachother up but I think it is because they do not get enough sleep and are always overtired and don't sleep well. We have had them in separate rooms in swings but it isn't working and I think they are just going to have to get used to eachother because whatever we are doing now is not working.

 

Mine sleep together and I guess they have gotten use to hearing each other at night. My son was up at 2:30 this morning doing his motor boat sound loud enough to wake us up (who knows why he wanted to play that early). Anyway, we just left him in the bed. He finally decided to go back to sleep and his sister never woke up during all his noise.

 

The girls are in the same room, have been since 3 months for both naps and night, and they have learned to sleep through each others noises.

Be careful running in to get them to quickly if one wakes - we did that and Emma figured out that if she whined we would come in. It turned into a nightmare of multiple night wakings which after a few months ended in CIO.

Try to let them fuss for a few minutes - then go in.

Same here except they started sleeping in their own cribs around 4 or 5 months.

 

Mine have always shared a room. Amy woke for a feeding at night until 13 months and it never bothered Sarah as far as I could tell. And when they were tiny, they slept right next to each other in bouncy seats in the dining room, and one could be screaming her head off and the other would sleep through it.

The only time they wake each other up is in the morning, when they're ready to wake up anyway. Even then, Amy can be hollering for up to an hour sometimes and Sarah will sleep through it if she's really zonked.

We do nap them in separate rooms. They'd never go to sleep otherwise.

In general, with twins, you just cannot be worrying about every single peep. You'll make yourself crazy. And you're right that it's also not safe to have them sleeping on a regular bed -- they may decide to do the first roll when you're not watching.

Ditto!
