I seriously and really hope with all my heart that somebody Adopts these new borns before they are sent to an orphanage and I dont know what would have been the problem with the mother to leave such cute pairs of Gods gift.

Bye,

Staffers in the children’s ward of Bhagwati Hospital, Borivali, have been caring for two newborns — twins from a set of triplets — after the girls were abandoned by their mother a few days after their birth.

In the last week of May, Shabana Pathan, a resident of Shanti Nagar, Dahisar (West), had delivered at the hospital. “On May 26, everybody was thrilled when she gave birth to triplets, all girls,” said Dr Vijaya Bhatt, senior medical officer, Bhagwati Hospital.

However, the babies were of extremely low weight and a couple of days later one died of related complications, Bhatt said.

The next day, Pathan, who it has been found already had two daughters, left the hospital on some pretext and never returned, Bhatt said. The staff registered a complaint with the police, but the latter have been unable to trace either Pathan or the address she gave, the doctor said.

Staffers are now looking after the two surviving babies, who weighed 1 kg and 1.1 kg at birth, which was also low, the doctor said. Nurses have been taking turns feeding the babies milk through spoons, she explained. Both infants have gained weight and have been kept in incubators to maintain their body temperatures, she said.

The two girls have become the darlings of the entire ward and have been named Sita and Gita. “We really feel sorry for the babies, since it is not their fault they were born in these conditions,” a nurse said.

Dr Mahendra Wadiwala, medical superintendent at Bhagwati, said the babies would be kept till they reached about 2 kg in weight. Then they would be sent to an orphanage, he said.
