Too identical to differentiate, how do you tell them apart?’
Well, one family have come up with their own way of making sure they can by colour coding their triplets’ toe nails to tell them apart.
Proud mum and dad Karen and Ian Gilbert, from Pontypool, South Wales, had to buy bright nail varnish so they know which of their little girls is which.
Baby Ffion has fuschia polish on her toenails, Maddison has mint green and Paige wears purple.
Mother Karen, 33, said: ‘It’s not a fashion statement we really struggle to tell them apart.
‘We came up with the nail varnish idea and it works a treat.
‘It makes life a lot easier when it comes to our daily routine of feeding, bathing and nappy changing.
‘The colour coding helps us to know who has had what!’
Karen and company director Ian matched the first letter of the baby’s name with the first letter of the shade of nail polish just to make sure they always get it right.
They hope as the little girls get older they will develop individual looks and personalities to help them tell one from another.
