When it comes to safe sleep, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that twins and siblings always sleep in their own separate cribs or sleep spaces. Sharing a crib might feel comforting, but it increases the risk of overheating, rolling into unsafe positions, and sleep-related tragedies.
The safest setup? Place each baby on their back in their own crib, on a firm mattress with a fitted sheet, in a clutter-free sleep space with no pillows, blankets, or toys. Twins and siblings can still share a room, just not the same crib. Keeping them close, but safely separate, gives everyone peace of mind.
