One word: Sharpie!

this happened to my mother in law, 30 years ago. they had to get the babies blood tested to see which was what blood type. after that, they used blue clothespins for my hubby and yellow for his brother. nowadays, just sharpie one babies initial on one stack of diapers and one on another.

tattoos should do the trick

Wow, some people here are so mean! If the twins are identical it's SO easy to mix them up! One newborn is exhausting, nevermind two. You aren't bad parents, just tired new parents :) good luck!

Which is why, in old times, people would put the very tip of a hot iron poker to the foot of the first baby out, so that they'd have a little mark there and parents could always tell them apart. Medieval, maybe, but effective, much as the baby may hate the midwife for a while. XD

not the end of the world. take them to the doctors and they'll figure it out. then get name bracelets

the finger prints or foot prints should be on the birth certificate. bracelets do work, yarn ones that are tied at the wrist.

it's just a name. they're newborns so it's not as though they have distinctive traits already.

I'm assuming they took footprint records at birth, so take one of their footprints and compare it with the records. easy. no big deal

a similar thing happend to my aunt when she was babysitting twins, then she figured out both the twins had differnt colored nail poish on there big toe
