Sleeping together? - Page 2

baboo · Sep 29th, 2009, 04:48 AM

my twins have never sleep together, they were in their own moses baskets and are now in their cot beds in their own room. They were seperated at the hospital when Chloe was taken to SCBU for a few days and we just kept it that way as they seemed happy.

Vicky -> What "SIDS" web site stated that babies shouldn't sleep in their own room (in the beginning)? I've never heard such a thing. Was it specifically multiples? I'm going to ask my doctor about it, thanks for the heads up.

Until I hear differently, mine will sleep in their own room from the beginning. I will also sleep in there as my husband has to work and I don't want the babies (or me getting up) waking him up.

I haven't decided if I'll put them in the same crib at the beginning (I will be buying 3 cribs). Like baboo said, I'll probably see how they adjust in the NICU and take it from there.

20 weeks pregnant with triplets (di/di identical boys, fraternal girl)

Research does show that there is a decrease in SIDS when they sleep in the same room as your in the very beginning. Pacifiers are also a SIDS decreaser.

My two slept in the same crib when we were in hospital but started to really irritate and scratch the hell out of each other by the end of our stay. Now that we are home, they are currently sleeping in seperate moses baskets in our room and i plan to keep them in with us until they outgrow their baskets. I then plan to put them in seperate cotbeds in their own room (I'm guessing they will probably be about 2-3 months old by then). We just think this is probably best as they annoy each other so much, even if they are placed side by side on their activity mat lol

I also read that two babies sleeping together have an increased chance of SIDS. I read this on wikipedia so dunno how accurate it is.

I have heard the opposite. When evenone sleeps with mama, they feel the heartbeat, and can better regulate theirs by hers. Same with twins..They keep themselves on track..Just what I heard..they don't know for sure either..Give them ten years, and they will change it again..always happens.
