moses basket for twins

[twindavis]

Hi I'm expecting identical twins and am looking for a wide moses. has anyone every found one. they all look so narrow?

Honestly I’d avoid them. My twins slept in an arms reach cosleeper at night, big enough until they were about 7 months, and downstairs we used a travel cot with a thick mattress, plenty of room for them to share, can be used to contain them when they’re a bit bigger and ideal if you need to go away somewhere.

My twins couldn't sleep together. One loved it, the other would scream the house down.

I had really fixed ideas of what I should / shouldn’t do but as pp says you may find they like sleeping together or they don’t. Mine were mostly separated for a few months aside from one having a quick nap in with the other in nicu from about 6 weeks old. When I got them both home I found they did want to lie together so got rid of the Moses baskets and got the travel cot.

@TammySwansonTwo can I just ask if they both fitted in the same arms length cosleeper? I know they tend to be a bit smaller than cots so just wondering how it works, practically.

Sorry for thread hijack!

I didn't think co-sleeping twins in a moses basket was advisable due to lack of airflow even if it was wider than normal. Please check with your midwife and maybe look at a crib instead?

The arms reach co sleeper (arms reach is the brand) is much bigger than the usual co sleepers like next 2 me - it’s the same size as a standard travel cot. They did share the same one until they outgrew it at 7 months but they were small.
