Nurse Unexpectedly Saves A Baby By Placing Her Next To Twin Sister

Skin-To-Skin Contact Is Necessary For Newborns

There is a common belief held by doctors all over that skin-to-skin contact is vital for newborns. Moms and dads are often advised to hold their newborns on their bare chest, allowing for their child’s bodies to take in all of the benefits. This is especially beneficial for premature babies where specialists in the neonatal field agree that every newborn should have skin-to-skin time with their parents. “Research has also found positive associations with cognitive and motor skills, and psychosocial benefits, such as attachment and parental confidence,” Akron Children’s Hospital reports.

The Twins Live A Normal Life After Going Home

When all of the havoc was over and Brielle was pronounced fine, it was smooth sailing for then on out. The Jacksons could take their darlings home quickly thereafter. The twins obviously grew up extremely close. As toddlers, they didn’t know how important they were to each other, but once they were able to understand what they went through, their love grew even stronger. Their bond has grown stronger day by day and now here they are today…

The Girls Are Now All Grown Up

The fact that they were born 12 weeks premature is unbelievable judging by their looks now. They are 23 now and doing better than okay. Brielle and Kyrie are still extremely close, but that’s obviously not surprising. They both express their gratitude to one another and that there is nothing like the love that comes from family. However, there is something quite special about the bond between twins, and Brielle and Kyrie can explain for themselves.

Just saying…

A Set Of Premature Born Twin Sisters

They were born in the month of October, day 17, in the year 1995 which was actually a full 12 weeks ahead of their due date. The standard practice, that time, at The Medical Center of Central Massachusetts in Worcester, where the twins came into the world, was to place them in separate incubators to ward off any chance of infections.

They Had To be In Separate Incubators For Health Reasons

They were placed in separate incubators which we repeat was a standard practice to reduce any risk of infection from any source. Kyrie, who weighed 2lbs 3 oz, was making good progress and gaining weight, but her tiny sister had breathing and heart-rate problems, there was little weight gain and her oxygen level was low.
