Premature twins caught on camera holding hands have captured the hearts of millions after the video went viral. New mom Anthea Jackson-Rushford, of Melbourne, Australia, shared this video on January 13 of Kristiana and Kristian being cradled by their father. The twins were born at 28 weeks and one day and weighed “under a kilo each,” or under 2.2 pounds. The video had more than 90,000 shares and more than 6 million views by Wednesday.
The video shows the touching moment a pair of twins born 11 weeks premature formed an immediate bond as they were cradled in their proud father's arms.
Anthea Jackson-Rushford from Victoria, Australia, went into labour earlier this month, at just 29 weeks.
But despite all odds, twins Kristian and Kristiana - who weighed around 2lbs each - were said to be doing well, and in footage captured as they snuggled into their dad Glen's chest, they are seen holding hands.
