Rednose recommends that twins have their own safe sleeping space (crib, portable crib, or bassinet) in the room of the parents/caregivers until they reach the age of 12 months old to lower the chance of SIDS. This arrangement is also known as co-bedding and it has been proven that twins who have been accustomed to this type of sleeping environment often form a more synchronized sleep pattern than those who sleep on their own.

While the American Academy of Pediatrics has recently issued recommendations to decrease the SIDS risk by encouraging room sharing and avoiding cobedding, many families with twins and multiples find it difficult to adhere to these guidelines (1).

Parents of twins may not follow current SIDS risk reduction recommendations due to a desire to extend their own sleep time and the inability to accommodate multiple cribs in the home. In addition, socioeconomic status could affect family decisions about the arrangement of their sleep.

It is possible for twins to share a single cot when they are very small. This is called co-bedding and can provide wonderful comfort for newborns since it helps them remember the mother's womb.
