Twins form a special bond with their siblings well before they actually make it out of mom’s tummy. Despite being born extremely premature, twins Kristiana and Kristian formed an unbreakable bond and are using each other for strength.
Kristian and Kristiana were born on January 4th at only 28 weeks along weighing only 2.2 pounds each, which is about five pounds less than the average full-term baby.
In order to make up for not having a full nine months to develop inside the womb, doctors and the new mom and dad did everything to make sure the two get stronger. But soon enough, it became clear that the most crucial part of their development would be being close to each other.
While dad used skin to skin cuddling called ‘kangaroo care‘, which has been proven to improve health and wellbeing of premature babies, he noticed that his two tiny babies reached out for each and held each other’s hand.
But then the new parents started noticing their twins constantly holding hands whenever they were close enough to each other. “Both my angels holding hands again as if they were born to,” Anthea wrote in a post to Facebook.
