Preterm twin babies often need special NICU care because they are born early and may have low birth weight or immature organs.

1️⃣ Breathing Support
Continuous monitoring of oxygen levels
Oxygen by hood / CPAP / ventilator if needed
Apnea monitoring (common in preterm babies)
2️⃣ Temperature Control
Kept in incubator or radiant warmer
Prevents hypothermia (preterm babies lose heat fast)
3️⃣ Feeding & Nutrition
IV fluids or TPN initially
Gavage feeding (tube feeding)
Gradual shift to breast milk (mother’s milk preferred)
Monitor feeding tolerance & weight gain
4️⃣ Infection Prevention
Strict hand hygiene
Limited visitors
Antibiotics if infection risk or signs appear
5️⃣ Jaundice (NNJ) Monitoring
Regular bilirubin checks
Phototherapy if needed
6️⃣ Heart & Brain Monitoring
Monitor heart rate, BP, oxygen saturation
Screening for IVH (brain bleed) in very preterm babies
7️⃣ Growth & Development Care
Daily weight monitoring
Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) when stable
Minimal handling, gentle care
8️⃣ Special Twin Care Points
Each twin may need different treatment
Monitor for twin-to-twin growth differences
Extra nutrition for low-weight twin
