I'm 23 weeks with twins and am in discussion with DH about whether or not we should plan for the babies to share a cot initially. Most of what I have read suggests that cot sharing would be the most natural thing to do and that it will help to settle and reassure the babies. However, DH is not so convinced... We have a 15 month old and have used a movement sensor monitor with him from birth, first in his moses basket and we still use it in the cot. DH in particular has always loved the reassurance of the tick-tock on the monitor screen and is worried about not using a sensor as obviously it would be pointless with two in the same bed... What are other people's experiences? Has anybody used separate moses baskets from birth? My only concern about sharing is that we'll have to separate at some point and I guess that will unsettle them.
