Keep Cribs in Close Proximity

Megan's first tip is to keep the crips close together. "Having their cribs side by side is calming to newborn twins, knowing that their sibling is very nearby at all times. Eventually, as they grow, it's best to separate them so they do not climb over into one another's cribs. Thinking about furniture placement in general and having a flexible nursery space to accommodate this requires forward thinking and space planning," she explains.

Incorporate Personalized Touches

"Think about giving each child their own special item near their crib, such as a stuffed animal or a blanket embroidered with their name, a nice touch for individuality. Twins often get grouped together, so these small design details that emphasize their individuality from day one are so important to building their sense of self," she says.

Bring In Artwork

Another tip Megan gives is to incorporate a personal piece of art. "I love the idea of incorporating each of the babies' names on a piece of art. It's a great way to add wall decor and a personal touch at the same time."
