He is now 7 years old and full of spitfire! He often tells people, "My aunt is a Chef! She is a good cooker! She knows how to cook for adults and for kids!"

There are a few ways you can support your family during this time. First and foremost, offering emotional support and being there for them is important. You can also offer to help with daily tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and running errands. Additionally, you can donate to organizations that support premature babies and their families, or offer to set up a meal train for your family.
It's important to be mindful of the language you use when speaking to the parents of preemie babies. Avoid phrases such as "at least they're healthy" or "at least they're alive." These statements can be hurtful and dismissive of the challenges the parents and babies are facing.
One of the best ways to help parents cope with the stress of having preemie twins is to offer a listening ear and be there to support them in any way they need. You can also help by providing resources and information about support groups or counseling services that specialize in helping parents of preemies.
There are a few products that can be helpful for preemie twins, such as preemie-sized diapers, onesies, and blankets. It's also important to have a thermometer, a nasal aspirator, and a baby scale to closely monitor the babies' health. Additionally, a baby carrier or wrap can be helpful for keeping the babies close while still being able to use your hands.
If you are unable to physically be there to support your family with preemie twins, there are still ways you can offer your support from a distance. You can send care packages with items that may be helpful for the babies or parents, such as snacks, books, or self-care items. You can also regularly check in with the family through calls, texts, or video chats to offer emotional support and see how you can help from afar.
