Miracle tot is a new world record
The tiny tot, weighing in at just 275 grams, recorded the lowest weight for a
living birth of a newborn boy, according to doctors at the University of
Goettingen Hospital.
In most cases, they said, it was regarded as impossible for a child with a
birth weight below 350 grams to survive.
News of the birth was kept quiet while the boy was in a critical condition but
doctors revealed details after announcing that he was no longer in danger.
The little boy was born in June last year in the 25th week of pregnancy,
revealed Stefan Weller, a spokesman for the University of Goettingen Hospital.
He spent six months in intensive care and was finally discharged in December
after growing to 3.7 kilograms.
Weller said doctors had checked every available record worldwide of premature
births and found no viable birth at a lower weight for boys.
Until now the lowest surviving birth weight for a boy was 297 grams.
The lowest surviving birth rate for a newborn girl is 244 grams.
