Chelsea Torres, a 30-year-old pharmacy technician from Blackfoot, Idaho, is raising awareness about conjoined twins through her twin daughters, Callie and Carter. The twins, who are now six years old, are connected from the sternum down and share a liver, intestinal tract, and bladder, but have separate hearts and stomachs. While it was difficult for Torres when the girls were babies, she now shares photos and videos on social media to raise awareness and educate others about life with conjoined twins. “During the summer, we live at the pool,” Torres tells TODAY. “You’ll see us at the mall and at expos. We’re always out doing something.”

A new bill in Congress would ban weighted sleep products for babies following warnings that the sleepwear is killing infants. Weighted sleep products, including blankets, swaddles and sleep sacks, are similar to mini sleeping bags, but their added weight can calm babies and lull them to sleep faster. The added weight can range from a few ounces to 1.5 pounds. Many parents swear by them.
