Ten Ounce Baby Survives
[Edit]
[Edit]
Defying the odds, a tiny premature baby, born at 21 weeks gestation and weighing less than 10 ounces and measuring a mere 9.5 inches, is alive and well and ready to go home. Quite possibly a world record for the most premature baby to survive, the baby amazed doctors when she was born, breathing without assistance.
After being closely monitored and kept under observation for nearly four months, the baby is now ready to join her family at home, much to the amazement of family, friends and the medical profession.
Amillia Sonja Taylor was born at 21 weeks and six days on October 24, making her possibly the most premature baby on record to survive. Amillia weighed just under 10 ounces (283.5 grams) and measured 9.5 inches (24.13 cm) in length when she was born. A full-term pregnancy is 37 to 40 weeks. Babies born at less than 23 weeks and 14.11 ounces (400 grams) in weight are not considered viable.
"She's truly a miracle baby," said Dr. William Smalling, a neonatologist at Baptist Children's Hospital.
