Space-Saving If you adhere to safe sleeping guidelines, twins can be in a bedside crib side-by-side. They should be placed on their backs, with their heads touching and their feet at opposite ends. When they're old enough, they can sleep together in a Moses Basket or regular crib. We really love this Delta double bassinet.

Convenience Parents of twins might be enticed to place their babies in a single crib or bassinet but this is not generally recommended. Rednose recommends that twins have their own secure sleeping space (crib or portable crib or bassinet) in the room of the parents or caregivers until they reach the age of 12 months old to lower the chance of SIDS. This arrangement is also known as co-bedding. It has been observed that twins who are accustomed to this sleep environment will typically have a more synchronized sleep pattern than those who sleep on their own. A twin bedside cot like the Teknum FELLOW 2 is an excellent method to accomplish this. It includes two sets of bedding so that each baby gets their own personal space. This bedside cot can also easily be moved from room to room as required, and makes it easy to check on babies without having to wake them up by re-entering their sleep zone or disrupting their routines. Other options include double bassinets which have been designed specifically to allow the infants to remain side-by-side and are ideal for nighttime feeds or diaper changes. The Halo Bassinest Twin has a mesh panel that breathes and is adjustable in height to allow each baby to be seen and reachable at all times. The sides of the sleeper lower and raise to allow for easy access. If you're looking for an affordable option, the Walmart-exclusive Twin EZ Fold Double Bassinet is similar, featuring two separate sleeping zones, separated by a mesh panel that allows babies to see each other, and the entire sleeper swivels 360 degrees for ease of access for each infant. For situations that are temporary like an unexpected family visit or hospitalization Parents have reported the benefits of co-bedding twins using a large moses basket or small bassinette with divider. However, this should be done only under the supervision of a healthcare provider to ensure that the babies are properly placed and with their feet towards the floor of the cot and their bedding is securely tucked in to avoid them from becoming suffocating. Safety The most important safety feature for twins is that they has their own space to sleep. This prevents the baby from being smothered, choked, or otherwise choking by the other. It also helps to prevent cot deaths, which are more frequent with single infants than multiples. The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that tritons, twins and higher-ordered multiples have their own sleeping area. This can be done with an additional bassinet, or twin bedside crib that you can bring up to your bed to feed or sooth one of the babies during the night. Although the American Academy of Pediatrics has recently issued recommendations to decrease the risk of SIDS by encouraging room sharing and avoiding cobedding, many families with multiples and twins find it difficult to adhere to these guidelines (1). A previous study found that the majority of families of twins who were cobedded in the first three months at home, used unsafe sleeping practices (room sharing without cobedding). Parents of twins might not follow the current SIDS guidelines due to the desire to sleep longer and absence of space in the home to accommodate multiple cribs. Additionally the socioeconomic status of a family could influence their choices regarding the arrangement of their sleep. If twins are placed together in a crib or Moses basket, they may easily get caught in their bedding, and possibly choke on one another. If you're planning to put your twins in the same cot it is important to put them in the position of feet-to-head and their bedding securely tucked into each cot to limit their chances of smothering each other. A bassinet that is positioned at the bedside, like the Halo Bassinest Twin, is one of the most secure and more convenient alternatives for twins who wish to sleep in a separate bed. This double bassinet features a mesh wall that separates twins, giving them their own secure flat bed. It can be turned 360 degrees, so you can bring your child closer to you without leaving your bed. The side walls automatically lower and then return with each movement. It's also easy to clean and fits into the standard twin bed frame. Take a look at the Delta Children Twin EZ Fold Double Bassinet at Walmart. It comes with the same features as the Halo Bassinest. Comfort Being welcomed by twins or multiples to the world is a major life altering. Not least, they require a great deal of planning and consideration when it comes to their sleeping arrangements and how they'll have a restful night. Parents often wonder what they can do to make their children feel more comfortable in the early years of their lives. It is possible for twins to share a single cot when they are very small. Co-bedding is a method for helping newborns feel at ease by bringing them back to their womb. It is essential to ensure that the beds are big enough for infants to be comfortable without having to touch each the other or move around. Also, keep in mind that the baby who wakes up first should be fed. It is helpful to coordinate feeding times at night so that you can get one of them up earlier than the other. It is crucial to keep in mind that twins are quite different and could develop their own sleeping routines. You might find that one of them wakes more than the other, or they prefer to be nearer to you. In this case it is possible to give each twin a separate crib or bassinet. Find twin bedside cots with mesh dividers that are breathable for sleeping areas that are separate. This is particularly important for babies that are more prone to overheating or families with c-section mothers. Other helpful features include the reversible base, built-in storage space for blankets and toys, as well as easy-to-use wheels. The Arm's Reach cot, specifically designed for mothers with c-sections, is a great choice because it offers a huge sleeping area and is easy to move. Other options are the Graco Pack 'n Play and the Fisher-Price Easy Swaivel but they have a smaller sleeping area than the Arm's Reach cot. Even if they're close, it is not recommended for twins to share the bed with an adult. This could increase the risk of SIDS and cause suffocation or strangulation. Instead the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that twins remain in their safe sleeping areas, like bassinets or cribs, in their parent's room for the first six months.
