Snuggled up next to their mother, these tiny babies are the best Christmas gift Shannon Page could have wished for.
The three boys battled for survival after doctors urged Mrs Page, 29, and her husband, Ace, 28, to consider terminating one of the rare, 200-million-to-one identical triplets, amid fears they could lose all three before birth.
The couple refused and moved from Wincanton, Somerset, to be closer to a specialist neonatal unit at St Michael’s Hospital, in Bristol.
