I am planning on a cosleeper that is big enough for both of then for the first couple weeks. That way I will not have to get out of bed to get them. Then move them into one crib across the room (I have a large bedroom). I am going to look into a crib divider to keep them from waking each other up and give them their own space. Once they are big enough, two cribs and most likely their own room down the hall. I evicted my daugher at less than one month from our bedroom because she made so much noise when she slept. Hopefully, the boys will be quieter.

I would say seperate so that it doesnt promote l8er issues with sepaeration anxiety etc. (Twins will feel eachothers presence. (Put the cribs where the babies can see eachother) They may be twins but they need to be able to function on their own and know it is okay as well.

I would think for newborns this would be fine, but once they start moving they would need their own space.

I would try co-bedding at first, but they will have to be sapart later or they will never sleep! When my son was in the NICU, there were twins in his room who were also preemies. They were co-bedding for the first week or so, but the nurses realized they kept waking each other up so they had to separate them and they had much better sleep so you never know till they come!

Ikea has smaller cribs and you can buy apartment size cribs. I would look into getting two cribs and decorate the room this way HOWEVER i would keep the LOs together Untill about 3 months. After being prggo for 10 months and having eachother to warm up to for so long i think it would be better this way for comfort.

i would say same crib is definately a good idea for maybe the first 1-2 months....after that you will want to seperate to start getteing them more indepent.

You definitely want them together at first. The thing with twins is that they are able to comfort EACHOTHER more than YOU are capable of comforting them. Many singleton parents cannot understand this. They were pressed together for 9 months inutero and they will most likely crave that intimacy and be very fussy if they are ripped away from eachother too soon. Even in the hospital, they put twins in the same mobile basinett. However, you`re only going to want do one crib for a little while and nearly any twin mom will tell you that. I was able to have my twins share a crib for about 6-8 weeks before it was more of a distraction than a comfort to them. As soon as they become unswaddled and more mobile (rolling over and army crawling), they and you will LOSE sleep if they are still crib sharing. So, whenever that mobility starts - again, for me it was around 2 months of age. For `safety` purposes, use sleep positioners, but put them right up to eachother.
