Exactly! My twins were in the NICU for a week abfter birth for low birth weight and jaundice, nothing communicable. I was always shocked to find the nurses would put them in separate bassinets when we left. I would ask them if they could be together, they would say sure, that's fine so we would leave them in the bassinet together only to find them separated again. It seems common sense that thriving=happiness=weight gain and for twins being together would assist in their thriving. They were definitely happier when together they would wrap their arms and legs around one another. They did that util they were about 5, so we called them Velcro. 😂

I cried so much so that a nurse put me in my twin brothers incubator, i think a pram is ok for a few hours. Also my mom used to put my younger siblings in the pram together just like this.

Do not use chemicals such as tan spray near babies! Many will even get rashes from detergent perfumes etc. People really require more education on how harmful many every day substances are. Interestingly, while things we care for ("dirt") typically are totally harmless to babies.
