Y’all were so helpful with my sleeping dilemma for vacation. I’m in need of some more suggestions for sleep.
Long story ahead. I have boy girl twins who are almost 2. We had to split our twins for sleep for several reasons, with great results for all of us. They’ve been separated for over 6 months now. Twin B now sleeps in his own baby proofed room on a mattress on the floor (he climbs out of the crib so he will need at least a toddler bed in any new scenario). twin A sleeps in our room in a pack n play (it was so much easier to console her if she woke up during the night). Fast forward, twin A had tubes put in her ears last week and is now sleeping super well. We have tried to put the 2 of them together for sleep but they just play play play. I have yet to be able to get either one to sleep when they are both in the same room.
We only have a 3 bedroom house and would like to keep a third as a guest room. We live far from family so we don’t want to force them to rent a hotel or Air bnb when they visit. Idk what I can do to get them in the same room again without waking one another up so I’m hoping for some inspiration.
EDIT TO ADD - I am not opposed to “powering through it” but, when we have attempted this, it’s been over an hour and neither twin shows any signs of falling asleep. Even when I go in there when they are clearly ready to go to bed, I can get neither twin to calm down or fall asleep.
I was considering a tent over each of their crib mattresses to provide some separation. We re e fly used covers on their pack n plays on vacation and it worked amazingly well. However we can’t use the pnp’s in their bedroom bc my son will climb in them while they’re not being used. Not exactly safe.
