They had been in the world for only a few days when they starred in a scene that moved millions of people: two newborn twins stayed cuddled together as they were given a bath, as if they were still together in their mother’s womb

The moment was filmed in 2013 by Sonia Rochel, a professional specializing in newborn care who worked at the La Muette clinic in Paris, France.

The little ones were given a bath using a technique known as Thalasso Bain Bébé, developed by Rochel to offer a relaxing experience during the first days of life.

As the warm water ran over their bodies, the twins kept their eyes closed and their arms intertwined, staying side by side the whole time.

The specialist held them carefully while soft music accompanied the procedure.

The images seemed to show two siblings who were not yet ready to be separated.

When the video reached the internet, the reaction was immediate: millions of people were captivated by that tender scene.

Although it is impossible to know what the babies were feeling, their calmness and closeness led many to imagine that they still thought they were inside their mother’s womb.

A moment that turned these twins’ first bath into an unforgettable memory.
