World’s Smallest Baby

Premie Feet

On October 24th 2006, Amillia Taylor was born at 21 weeks and six days. No baby born at less than 23 weeks gestation had ever survived, but 10 ounce Amillia was able to pull through (and even was trying to breath and cry on her own at birth). Hospitals had initially hoped to release her yesterday, but decided to keep the now healthy baby a few extra days for observation.

Her mother doesn’t mind the wait, she’s just proud and happy that Amillia is healthy: “Even though she’s only four pounds (1.8 kilos) now, she’s plump to me.” Story via Yahoo, Picture via The Cellar

I think the timing was unfortunate.. I saw the headline above, “Yummy Bacon Mints”, and then my mind was thinking candy when I glanced down at the photo.

Did a doubletake.

She’s doing fine, still in the hospital but gaining lots of weight and apparently quite healthy. I give as much credit to her caring medical staff as I do to her loving, devoted parents.

It’s just amazing to think that, only a few years earlier, her chances of even surviving–much less thriving–would have been astronomical.

my daughter was only 11 ounces at birth and had {nec} only a handful of babies survive the both and my daughter is now 2 years old and only 15 pounds so i kinda know what you went through and it is very tough if youd like to email me that would be great and we could talk a bit about my daughter and your baby.
