        Then, and only then, is it deleted.

        I’m not looking for it so I can see it perfectly clear.

    12 weeks premature baby can’t even lift their arm. Nurses placed the arm over the twin. Still a nice story though,.

      Agreed. If more people grasped the real reason why centaurs don’t exist, the world’d be a better place. 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Why don’t they have all babies share a bed then? I know mixing up would be a problem, but they mix them up all the time, and this would save their lives.

      There’s not enough data on if it helps, and co-bedding risks mixing up feeding, medications, treatments, etc.

      The reason why people suspect it MIGHT help with multiple birth babies is that it might feel familiar to when they were inside.

      There’s not enough ability to research it. You’re taking big risks that require getting permission from a separate family, with only a guess that it might do something useful.

      There’s not even much in the way of data as to why it worked in this case, or others. But afaik, it’s only ever been tried in multiple births, and only ones that are in distress. That’s why this was even tried; an effort to save a struggling preemie.

      Not that research is impossible, but the barrier is a big one.

        I’ve been there, doctors will do just about any thing if there’s a chance it’ll help more than it’ll harm. I came very close to dying in the ICU once and I woke up with all sorts of weird stuff going on, like purple pee from getting NUKED with one of the B vitamins. When it’s life or death medicine goes from a science to more of an art

    Makes sense to me that she was losing the will to live because she lost contact with her other half before it was time.

    Sometime we just need to be reminded that we’re not alone.
