Should I email my ex for closure?
Care and Feeding is Slates parenting advice column. Submit it here or post it in the Slate Parenting Facebook group. I am almost 5 months pregnant with our first childrena set of twins. Ive been reading like a bad student before a final, and the nesting is really starting to kick in, but my husband and I cant agree on whether the babies should share a room. We plan to have them in cribs in our room for the first four-ish months, then transition them to their own room(s) once theyre a little older and dont need to eat as often. I think we should put them both in the same room for convenience, and keep our third bedroom as a spare, as were often the place where friends and family crash when they need a helping hand. I figure by the time we move them to their own room, theyll be on the same schedule and need to eat around the same time, so waking up wont be so much of a problem. My husband thinks when they cry, theyll wake each other up, leading all of us to get less sleep because babies dont really stick to schedules.
