Even I can’t tell my twins apart so I’ve come up with a savvy way to remember who’s who – mums call me a genius
HAVING a newborn is exhausting enough as it is, so when one mum gave birth to identical twins she decided to make life a bit easier for herself.
Sharing her savvy trick on TikTok, Kiely, 28, left other mums amazed with how she tells her daughters apart.
In the now viral clip, Kiely showed herself painting one of her twins’ toenails bright pink so she can see who’s who with just a quick look.
She captioned the video: “POV: You’re scared of mixing up your newborn identical twins.”
Kiely didn’t say if she also painted the other twin’s toenails a different colour, but just one should do the job.
The mum explained in the comments she’s also bought bracelets for the little ones to help her out.
Other parents loved her nail polish method though and couldn’t believe they didn’t do the same thing.
“This is so clever omg,” one raved.
A second wrote: “My mother never did this and I’m sure she got it wrong one day and I’m actually my sister.”
“I’d forget whose toes I painted what colour,” another joked.
And one mum confessed she did “the same thing 19 years ago.”
“I’ve always wondered how people don’t mix up their twins, I think I’d have to write their names on the bottom of their foot in Sharpie like Toy Story,” someone else laughed.
Meanwhile other TokTok users thought of some longer lasting things Kiely could also try.
“When they’re older you can get them different coloured earrings to make it easier,” one suggested.
And another thought medical tattoos could be an easier fix for the long term.
They said: “You can get a medical tattoo it’s only a dot on their ear or finger and it lasts up to four years so at that age they won’t be as identical.
