Some parents are comfortable with having a baby in there own room, My kids stayed in a crib in my bedroom until they were one year old and then I moved them to their own room. The Monitor will help you alot and you can even buy one of those tvs that show you the babys room, they are just 100 dollars at walmart. If you wait until they are around 2 or 3 then you will have a problem with getting them out of your bedroom, its best to let them get use to being alone in there own bedroom.

I would say that it is okay to move them as long as you have the baby monitor. If you still feel unsure with the baby monitor that you have get one of the expensive monitors that is like a tv and monitor in one so you can see them too. This can also be helpful since newborns make a lot of noise in their sleep. Also if you just use the monitor you have, and you hear a little whimpering, they might be doing it their sleep, so wait a few minutes before you make the mad dash down to their room. Good luck!

why don't you just try fro a few days, if you are not happy with the situation you can move them back. I had a crib in my daughters room and in my room (Our master was downstairs and her room was upstairs) we found that once we moved her, we were all a little happier (After a few nights of did I do the right thing.) I even sleep better as I was not awake all night listening to her. Take your time, and do what you feel is right for your family. Good Luck

Move them asap. I have 5 kids 9 years and under and they all have their own room and they sleep in it. My 21/2 year old will wake up sometimes in the middle of the night and we just give him a kiss and put him back to bed. My kids sleep through almost everything from the day they were born I would vacuum and play music, TV whatever and I trained them to sleep. I never understood parents who try to keep all quiet when their babies are sleeping. Best of luck! Remember you and your husband still need time together in your bedroom without babies next to ya.

My daughter is 11months old and still sleeps in her crib in our room! We only have a 2 bedroom house and my son sleeps inthe other room. They will share the room but right now he get's into the crib with her and I'm affraind he'll try to play with her and through her out of the crib by accident. so I just keep her in our room. I also didn't move my son into a room of his own until he was 1 yr just because before we lived here we only had a one bedroom. so to get to the point it's ok if they sleep in the same room as you, until you are somfortable moving them.
I didn't even have them in their crib until they were 4 months old cause they sleept in a basinette.
anyways congradulations.

It is OK to move them to there own room. Babies don't have any problems sleeping by themselves. Now I would put a baby monitor in their room with them. That would be just fine unless they have some type of medical condition that they need to be with you all the time.

I didn't move my babes until around 6 months, and if they are breast fed you should not want them to so far away yet, as they are still a bit young to go so long without fluids. Unless of course you aren't putting them down until midnight.
Being they are twins you could move them and put both in one crib as they don't roll over yet and won't squash each other. Eventually they will need their own bed. Then put the cribs so the can see each other, like opposite sides of the room.

You can move them and use the baby monitor. If you think they'll feel lonely, put them in the same crib. Each on their own side. I did that with my twins and it was great. They also slept in the same bed till they started disturbing eachother (about 3 yrs old)

You could have had them in their own room with a baby monitor from Day 1. But you should move them now. If you delay much longer, they will become used to knowing they're sleeping in your room. Once that happens, you won't be able to move them at all. They will demand to be in your room.

Yes, by all means put them in their own room. You aren't co-sleeping so the crib in your room isn't doing much good.
Use the baby monitor. They are so sensitive you'll hear every peep.
