Travel cot mattresses are often thinner and feel harder than those in a permanent cot, but don’t be tempted to place folded blankets or a quilt under the baby to make them ‘more comfortable’. They will be fine (and safer) without. The Lullaby Trust has no evidence that putting twins in the same cot in the early months places them at greater risk of sudden infant death.

If you choose to sleep them side by side in one cot, only do this in the early weeks when there is no danger of them rolling towards or over each other. Do not use a sheepskin in a cot or Moses basket or other sleep space. It is important that baby’s sleep space is firm, flat and has a waterproof cover. Adding a sheepskin can reduce firmness and risk overheating. Avoid using soft or bulky bedding Cot bumpers can post the risk of an accident to your baby once they begin to roll and move about the cot. There have been a number of cases in the UK and abroad where infants have become entangled in the ties and material, or fallen from pulling themselves up on the bumpers. Pillow use alone has been shown to increase the chance of SIDS occurring by up to 2.5 times. It is much safer to sleep your baby in a clear, flat, separate sleep space .

When our children were smaller we kept two protectors so we could change them over at night with minimal fuss. Oftentimes if your baby has an accident and you removed the fitted sheet and mattress protector and replace it with a clean moses basket fitted sheet you can bet the same thing will happen again soon after and end up wetting the mattress because you've put your only protector in the wash.
