Twin bed



Twin babies Patrick (left) and Jared (right) Rager sleep together at Memorial Hermann Baptist Beaumont Hospital in Beaumont on Thursday June 30, 2005. The babies participated in the hospital's first experiment with co-bedding of premature twins. Co-bedding of twins is believed to speed their progress as the children do not go through separation withdrawal in addition to other health issues.
