Hi everyone!
I have some good friends who have two twin baby girls. One of the girls hasa broken 3 bones, easily, since she was born. The girls are about 6 months old now. I know there is a disease that causes infants bones to break very easily, but cannot remeber what it is called. Does anyone know?

The common name for it is brittle bone disease. The technical name is osteogenesis imperfecta. There may also be other bone disorders which also cause easy breakage of bones, but that's the main one.

Mochi,
Curious as to how your friend's twins are doing?
Just had a friend go through the ordeal of getting the OI diagnosis.
