World's tiniest surviving baby born in California

AKIPRESS.COM - A San Diego hospital on Wednesday revealed the birth of a girl believed to be the world's tiniest surviving baby, who weighed just 245 grams (about 8.6 ounces) before she was discharged as a healthy infant, Guardian reports.
The baby, named Saybie, was born at 23 weeks and three days and was sent home this month weighing 5lbs (2kg) after nearly five months in the neonatal intensive care unit, Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women & Newborns said in a statement.
Saybie's ranking as the world's smallest baby ever to survive is according to the Tiniest Baby registry maintained by the University of Iowa, the hospital said.
Dr Edward Bell, a professor of pediatrics at the University of Iowa, said Saybie had the lowest birth weight of those submitted to the registry.
The mother said she had told medical professionals that she didn't think her daughter would survive because she was only 23 weeks. Babies typically are born at 40 weeks.
Doctors told her husband that he had about an hour with his child before she died, she recounted. But the mother said the hour turned into two, which became a day and then a week.
