They are getting their own room!

So last night was the first night they slept in different rooms and it went great. They napped better today than they have in months in their "own" rooms. I was so nervous more so b/c I worry about seperating them but realize that it is what they needed. How are two babies so different in personalities?! One likes to follow a schedule and when it is naptime or bedtime, well it is time to sleep not play. The other one likes to play and talk until she basically passes out. So one was keeping the other one up until they both were past exhausted and well... not is never fun for anyone. Past few weeks I've been sleep deprived, almost like I went back in time to the first few months. I slept so good last night b/c they didn't wake each other up!

My babies are growing up. I think it was harder on me than them. When did seperate your little ones or are they still together?

 

Mine are still together and will be for the forseeable future Mine won't even sleep in their own beds and insist on sleeping in one twin bed!

 

Ours sleep together at night in their own cribs- they have always done fine-
We do separate them for naps...
One sleeps in his regular crib and the other is downstairs in the office in a PNP. That way they both get their
full sleep they need and don't wake each other up...
So far it has worked out! I wish we could have them get their own rooms though!!!

We separated the kids at 18 mos. It was a wonderfully easy transition, and had I known how great it would be, I would have done it sooner. They started sleeping so much better once they had their own space.

 

Mine still share a room. Unfortunately we do not have another bedroom, otherwise I would separate in a heartbeat!

 

6 years old and still going strong in the same room.

My twins are sleeping in the same room with separate cribs. My husband and I have talked about separating them so they both can have their own room. They just turned 15 months old. We noticed our son always UP (early riser) as my daughter want to "sleep in" but often has to be up because of him. They used to jump up and down and chatty between the 2 cribs. Nowadays, they are more into playing with thier toys in the crib quietly. I don't think they'll have a hard time with the new transition. But I am going to wait until they reach 18 months to give me time to paint and clean up our 3rd bedroom which is a guest and storage room too. If I had girl/girl or boy/boy they would be in the same room as long as I can. With having a girl/boy I want to have a cute "theme" for them!

Yay for you that it's working out!!!! We separated our girls at 15 months. It was the best thing we ever did. Plus now I get to decorate two nurseries, which is always fun!

 

We separated our two at 7 months. It has worked great for us.

 

We will soon be in the process of looking for a new place, but until then, they have to share their room....we don't have a 3rd. But sometimes I wonder if I want to. I have this Pollyanna view of them sharing a room and being the best of friends forever and ever and never fight and just get along so well.

Yeah....can you tell I never had a sister?

 

Mine share even though we have the space. At this point, I feel they do great together but then they've always had the same sleeping preferences.
