A previous study revealed that a majority of families with twins who were cobedded in the first 3 months at home used unsafe sleep practices (room sharing without cobedding).

Parents of twins may not adhere to current SIDS risk reduction recommendations due to a desire prolong their own sleep and a lack of space to accommodate multiple cribs at home. Additionally the socioeconomic status of a family could influence their decisions about sleep arrangements.
