 I'm putting together the room for my twins arriving in
 June or July. For my first daughter I had a rocker. I
 was going to get a rocker or a glider for the twins.
 But they I thought maybe I need two so that two people
 can sit and rock the babies?is that overkill? Did you
 have two?

2. Crib tent safety

 My 2 year old girls are getting out of their cribs at
 nap time. I've tried separating them but it hasn't
 eliminated the crib-jumping. In reviewing the archives
 it looks like, at least as of a couple of years ago,
 people were using crib tents to stop this type of
 behavior. I'm slightly hesitant to use them because of
 the stories I've heard about strangulation, etc. Is
 this a legitimate concern? Urban legend? In other
 words, are crib tents safe? Assuming so, is there a
 specific brand that's better/safer than others?Thx in
 advance,Beth

 We found the crib tents really helpful and safe
 (well...until those little fingers found a way to open
 the zippers...then it was over!) I think if you follow
 the instructions perfectly, there shouldn't be anything
 for them to choke on, there are lots of tie-downs etc.
 to keep them in place. They did for sure keep the kids
 in their cribs until they could open them themselves
 and climb out safely. Best wishes on this phase!
