Choosing a Bedside Cot for Twins

Convenience

This arrangement is also referred to as co-bedding.

Parents of twins may not follow current SIDS recommendations due to the desire to sleep longer and a lack of space at home to accommodate multiple cribs. Additionally the socioeconomic status of a family can influence their decisions about sleeping arrangements.
