Twins are paired from the moment of conception.
Together, they are born into this world, where their extraordinary relationship continues.
Some even claim that they frequently behave and think like one.
“Whether or not your babies come home together or separately, the relationship between them will shape their lives right from the start. They are individuals who are born as members of a team. They will grow up with a strong relationship to the other members of their team,” Twin Magazine writes.
“Their relationship bond brings with it life-enhancing possibilities which are seldom enjoyed by single-born children. Soon they will begin to light up with joy at the sight of each other. Their daily companionship during early childhood lays the foundation for lifelong comradery.”
It is thought that the social tie between twins develops in the womb.
Twins can begin communicating as early as the fourteenth week of pregnancy, claims Scientific American.
“Over the following weeks they reduced the number of movements toward themselves and instead reached more frequently toward their counterparts,” the Scientific American reports.
“By the 18th week they spent more time contacting their partners than themselves or the walls of the uterus. Almost 30 percent of their movements were directed toward their prenatal companions. These movements, such as stroking the head or back, lasted longer and were more accurate than self-directed actions, such as touching their own eyes or mouth.”
So when they emerge from the womb, they are already closest friends who are familiar with one another.
That appears to be the situation with Babies A and B, at least.
While they presumably don’t go by those names now, Mike Lasky gave his newborns the name an hour or so after they were born.
He videotaped his twins’ extraordinary relationship and uploaded it to YouTube.
It demonstrates the adorable infants checking in with one another to make sure the other is doing well and adjusting to their new environment.
The infants are seen peering at one another from the same infant hospital bed.
Also, they appear to be trying to communicate by moving their lips about.
It’s unclear whether these two are genuinely speaking to one another.
In any case, it is utterly lovely. Whether or whether twins have their own language is a topic of debate in the scientific world.
It’s called cryptophasia, according to Wikipedia. It’s a language made up by twins that only they can understand.
Cryptophasia can also include mirrored walking and identical mannerisms.
The video of Baby A and Baby B ended up going viral spurring lots of comments about others who’ve experienced incredible twin bonds.
“Mine were place together and stayed that way within 20 minutes of birth. The slept better that way. They shared a crib for the first 5 months then we decided to separate them,” one mom wrote on Facebook.
“We kept the cribs together in an L shape and some nights I would go in and they would be cuddled into the corner of each of their cribs holding hands. Lots my heart every time… They are 13 months now and still have the L shape with their cribs and reach to touch each other every night before bed.”
