Baby “Tiny” is living in good health, and it is believed that she is the smallest child born in the United Kingdom, weighing only 325 grams, as she was born on December 30 last by caesarean section when her mother (17 years) was 25 weeks pregnant.
Doctors confirmed the difficulty of her survival because she needed immediate resuscitation, and parents in Scotland prepared to say goodbye to their child, but the little girl defied the expectations of doctors.
She was able to breathe on her own following she was born, and did not need resuscitation, which prompted her parents to describe her as a fighter.
The newborn is so small that it can be carried in the palm of her teenage mother, the baby is fed vitamins through the tube and has begun to absorb a little breast milk, and her parents hope that she will gain more weight in the coming days so that they can take her home.
Her mother, Ellie, said: “We are very proud of her. She is fighting for her life, and she has proven everyone’s expectations wrong.”
