Sleeping in the Same Crib

I asked on the parenting board, but I wanted to ask on here as well.

I have 4 1/2 month old triplets. My DD sleeps by herself in one crib, and my 2 DS sleep together in the other crib. They LOVE sleeping together, but now that they are getting older and more mobile, I am getting nervous.

Did your twins ever sleep in the same crib or pack and play? If so for how long?!

I also wanted to add that even though my triplets are 4 1/2 months, they are only 2 months adjusted.
Andd...I tried having all 3 of them sleep together, and even rotate them so that way my DD isnt always alone, but the typical girl she is...she wants her space and she prefers to sleep in the crib by herself!

Re: Sleeping in the Same Crib

I only have twins (only...lol) They were in the crib till they were about 2 months old, which was actually -1/2 month adjusted. Once they were moving around, like swinging arms around and trying to roll over, that's when I separated them. When they were together they liked to be right on top of each other so the littlest movement from one would often wake the other. They adjusted fine once they were separated.

If your DD prefers to sleep by herself then let her. You gave her the oppurtunity and she chose otherwise! Chat Icon

Re: Sleeping in the Same Crib

My girls started off sleeping in the FP rock n play sleeper. When it was time to move them to the crib at 4 months they went to their own cribs since they were already used to sleeping alone.

Re: Sleeping in the Same Crib

My girls slept in a mini crib in my room together till they were 2 months.
Then I transitioned them to the FP Rock n Plays right next to each other facing each other.
At 3 months I moved them to their rooms each in their own crib and they did just fine.
Baby A was a bit fussy for the 1st 2 nights but I think that was because of all the room she had.

they are now a week shy of 6 months and sleep just fine without each other Chat Icon However, during the day they are constantly looking for one another.

Re: Sleeping in the Same Crib

Thank you all for your advise!!

I separated the boys last night. They each slept in their own cribs and they did WONDERFULLY!!

As much as I enjoyed seeing them together and bonding at night, they were really starting to move around too much so I guess they are better off each in their own sleeping arrangements!

Thanks Again! Chat Icon
