Space-Saving

Twins can sleep side-by-side in a bedside crib, provided you adhere to safe guidelines for sleeping (that's to say they should lie on their backs with the tops of their heads touching each other and feet at opposite sides of the cot). They can also share a bed in a Moses basket or a crib when they're old enough.

Convenience

It is not recommended that parents of twins sleep their babies in the same bassinet or crib. Instead, the group Rednose suggests that twins be given their own secure sleeping space (crib or bassinet or portable crib) in the room of the parent or caregiver until they reach 12 months old to reduce the chance of SIDS. This is referred to as co-bedding. It has been shown that twins who grew in this environment have a more synchronized sleeping pattern.

Many parents have realized that bedding twins in a moses basket, or a small bassinette is a great option for temporary situations like hospital stays or a family visit. This should only be done under the supervision of a healthcare provider. They will make sure that the babies are appropriately placed in a crib with their feet placed at the foot of the crib, and all bedding tucked in.

Safety

When twins sleep together, the most crucial security feature is that each baby has their individual space to sleep. This ensures that each infant isn't smothered, or infected by the other. This also helps to avoid deaths in cots, which are more frequent with single infants than multiples.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that twins, triplets and higher-order multiples have their own sleeping space. The best method to achieve this is by having a separate bassinet or twin bedside cot newborn cots that can be positioned close to your bed while you feed or soothe one of your babies throughout the night.

While recent SIDS risk reduction recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics encourage room sharing with parents and discourage cobedding but the reality is that a lot of families with twins and higher-order multiples aren't able to comply with these guidelines (1). In a previous study it was discovered that the majority of twin families who co-bedded their children during the first three months of life at home were engaged in dangerous sleep practices.

Parents of twins might not follow the current SIDS guidelines due to the desire to sleep longer and lack of space in their home to accommodate multiple cribs. Furthermore, socioeconomic status may influence family decisions regarding the arrangement of their sleep.

If twins are positioned side-by-side in a tiny crib or Moses basket, they could easily become entangled by their bedding and potentially choke on each other.

Comfort

It's a significant life change to welcome twins or multiples into the world. They require lots of planning and thought not to mention when it comes to the place they will sleep and how they will get a good night's sleep. While decisions about their future bedroom space can be taken later in life parents are often unsure of how they can help them to feel comfortable in the beginning stages.

It is possible for twins to share a single cot if they are small. Co-bedding is a method of comforting newborns by reminding them of their womb. It is important to ensure that the beds are large enough to allow the infants to feel comfortable without touching or rolling around. It is also important to remember that the baby who awakes first needs to be fed. It is helpful to coordinate feeding times at night in order to get one baby up before the other.

It is important to keep in mind that twins have different sleep patterns. You might find that one baby sleeps more than the other or prefers to be close to you. In this situation it may be beneficial for the twins to have their own crib or bassinet in their room.
