They may have been born 11 weeks early, but twins Kristian and Kristina Jackson-Rushford have already developed a full-on sibling bond - and become an Internet sensation.

Photos and videos of the newborns holding each others’ hands have gone viral since their mother posted them to Facebook.

The babies were born 11 weeks early on January 4, and are being cared for at Monash Medical Centre in Melbourne, Australia. They weighed less than 1kg each when they were born.

Since their birth, their mother Anthea Jackson-Rushford has posted several videos of the tiny twins holding hands, dealing with hiccups and looking after each other.
