I have two week old triplet boys. Right now they are sharing a crib because they seem to only really cry when they are apart. Whenever one or two are taken away from the other one(s), they cry. I feel bad because I don't know if this is just separation anxiety or something else.
I also have three year old twins (yes multiples run in my wife's family...no fertility drugs) and when they were babies they never did this.
Any suggestions.
Also.. I am on my wife's account.

It is perfectly normal for multiples to do this. It is also normal for them not to do it.
They are too young for true separation anxiety - they just feel comfortable snuggled together, like they have been for nine months.
My friends' twins would not sleep in separate cribs, until they were old enough to hold hands between the bars!

some babies react differenly, it's almost like a personailty trait they're developing. when my brother was born, he was very shelfish, though a lot of people told me i didn't care for materialistic things, which is still true today, i think. they're identical triplets, it's like they were made for eachother, cloned siblings. lol
