Answer 1

I found this info regarding twins --- I would imagine it's pretty much the same for triplets :) Good Luck.

Before your twins are delivered you will be thinking ahead to plans on where they will be sleeping. Two babies certainly take up twice the space of one. But having two separate sleeping areas isn't necessary unless that is what you want.


While pregnant with your twins, your babies are sharing tight quarters with one another and are developing a close bond already. Once they are born, staying close together can continue to strengthen that bond as they grow into little children.



Two babies can easily share a small sleeping space, particularly when they are within their first three months after birth. Depending on their size, snuggling together in a bassinet might be appropriate. For bigger babies, over eight pounds, a regular-sized crib might be a better bet. And with the crib there is still room to separate them if they need to be.


Some parents want to separate their twins as soon as possible because they see the babies fidgeting by each other and sometimes causing each other to wake up. While this may be true, separating twins while they are too young could prove to be a difficult transition to make.


Research has consistently proven that twins who share sleep while they are babies, especially in NICU, do much better. Just like kangaroo care with premature babies, the closeness of another person can prove vital to the life of a baby.


You could choose to have your twins always share sleep together or only for naps or only for nighttime depending on your arrangements. If you share a family bed in the evening and the twins will be with their mother, and near one another, then you could separate them for naps during the daytime if you felt they slept better that way.


As twins grow into their sixth month after birth, they do become more active and will tend to wake their sibling. If this proves to be distressing to you, having two cribs side-by-side might be a consideration. That way they are very near one another but not close enough to create waking problems.


Some people will go so far as to separate their twins in separate cribs in separate rooms just for the sake of sleep. While this certainly is an option, I would urge parents to think about the bond that twins develop and what other options might work as well without interfering with the twin bond. There is plenty of time as they grow older to separate them.


If you are concerned about the twins crying and waking one another at night, perhaps letting that happen and feeding them at the same time would work better for everyone. It often gives more sleep to weary parents of twins, to have them on the same feeding schedule.


While it is a very personal decision, where and how your twins sleep, consider what is most important to your family and consider all your options.

Answer 2

Ive got 2 sets of twins and another on the way, plus a singleton, so I share your issue. When my 2 sets of twins were smaller, I had all four of them in the same room. They are only 11 months different so I kept them all together because then you dont waste time fiddling around going room to room at night.

Answer 4

NO! that seems way too young!!
Think about the womb connection these babies always have had. Separating them just seems wrong! Especially that young!!
Seriously! I would wait until they are older and you CAN ASK them if they want their own room!! Even then --I bet they say "No--we want to be together..."

Answer 5

If you do one or more of them might have withdraw....I would recommend separating them in the day time first.....if they do OK for a week then go ahead and try it.

Answer 6

yes.
having their own rooms won't tear them apart. it wont do any damage to their relationship with each other. so go for it and see how it turns out. if not good, then put them back together.

Answer 7

I believe so. I kept my girls together until they were in elementary school. It didn't seem to hurt their understanding of themselves as separate people (something multiples have issues with).

And it was sure alot easier on me.

Answer 8

I would seperate them; if one wakes up crying, they'll all wake up. Seperating them can't hurt, they won't wake the other two up.

Answer 9

yes,its too young
