I have followed the thread related to cobedding of multiples with interest.
The NICU where I work is not doing this at the time but we are very interested
in starting it.  We have a large number of multiples.  If you currently
practice cobedding, please answer the following questions....I will summarize
the results and post to the list.
      1.  When do you start cobedding?

      2.  Do you cobed ventilated babies?

      3.  Do you cobed in open warmers?
           If yes, how do you monitor temperatures?

      4.  While cobedding, if one baby becomes septic, do you treat both
babies?
            If one baby is septic, do you separate babies?

Thanks for your help.  Any comments or experiences would be helpful.
