How do you report to the same twins apart?

my good friends are identical twin boys and you cant tell them apart at adjectives the only way we know is when they talk (the voice are the same just the way they verbalize you can tell who's who, if you get me) but when identical twins are babies how do you relay them apart? and parents dress them alike how do they not mix up their names? e.g. at the hospital one was called Milo and the other Jake and during the first few weeks the parents mistook Jake for Milo so presently Jake goes by the name Milo ect.. does this happen. how can it not? i wont ask my friends mother because i dont know her.
I have known parents to tie a string around the kids ankle, blue for Milo and red for Jake...etc. If you ever did mess them up you could recheck their foot prints, which the hospital gives you a copy of. And roughly even twins have something that is different...one nose is slightly pointy, or one eye tend to wander..etc. And even in identical twins they enjoy very different personalities. Milo will only purloin the bottle if he is tilted, jake will only sleep on his side.etc.

there are lots of ways to tell them apart!
I am with my twin cousins right in a minute. They are identical girls and I can tell them apart. The DNA in tantamount twins is exactly the same. However, there is something else that makes character differences and birthmarks on their skin. Also, if you are around the twins all the time you will pick up on slight differences. If you were around the twins as much as their mother or father you would know exactly which one is which. For example, after living with my cousins for lately a week the twins could no longer trick me if they tried. Source(s): Emma and Sarah
My girls are identical. Up until they get older and got different styles of dressing and different haircuts, it be impossible for most people to tell who was who in recent times by looks.

But they have never and could never fool me. I don't know any parents of identical twins that can't easily explain to their kids apart and I find it hard to believe anyone that would claim they fooled their own parents.

I've called them the wrong name accidently, much surrounded by the same way I've accidently called my almost 3 week infirm baby his 9 year old brother's name by disaster a couple times, but I certainly can tell them apart too.

When they are your kids, it's just different than knowing a set of twins that you shift to school with. You know your own children, the teeniest tiniest most subtle differences, they stand out to a parent. My twins look totally different to me.

Plus even identical twins are not totally tantamount. They may have the same features, but there will be extraordinarily subtle differences that if you know them well enough, you will notice. And their different personality should show in their faces a little. That's the best explanation I can tender. Source(s): Mother of identical twin girls
I dont own twins, but I believe that mothers know their babies first of all...Secondly, even if they are Identical Twins, there is something that sets them apart...I have Identical Twin cousins and one have a chubbier face than the other, thats how I always told them apart.
Answers:    Another mode you can tell the twin boys apart is by looking at the way they style their hair, or possibly one has a freckle somewhere on their face, or one always wear a certain watch or something.

I've always wondered going on for twin babies getting mixed up at hospitals.
But I kinda of think mothers can just tell which kid is which after shes named them.
But I also think some twin babies look so alike that their mothers keep their hospital bracelets on the toddler. Or they might dress them in certain colors or whatever.
I definetly expect some twin babies have gotten their names mixed up, but we'll never know.
