Who are the Momo twins, and why are we obsessed with them?
Nicknamed "momo" - as in monoamniotic-monochorionic - the six-month-old twins are Instagram sensations because they are so adorable you just want to reach inside the images of them in matching outfits and gobble them up whole!
Not only are Leia and Lauren cuteness personified, they are also rareness personified. The identical twins are the rarest type since they shared their mom's amniotic sac and placenta - something that only happens in one per cent of twins pregnancies.
Since their birth, mom Amber Yong's Instagram account has turned the chubby pair into social media superstars, with a 72,000-strong following.
Take one look at their recent photo for Chinese New Year, and you can see why they are so popular.
The gushing seems to know no bounds, as they have turned women from all around into broody drips who are contemplating popping out more babies of their own.
The girls look plump and ridiculously healthy, but looks can be deceiving. They were born prematurely at 32 weeks for fear of cord entanglement, weighing just 1.5kg.
“We hope this video gives faith and inspiration to those parents with preemies and that the dark days do pass quickly, and happy (noisy) days shall prevail,” said Yong.
Though the twins bring back happy memories of my own little boy's delicious dimpled cheeks and jelly roll limbs, I am content to admire them from afar.
