A premature baby in southern China, weighing just 330 grams and measuring as large as an adult’s palm, was discharged from the hospital in good health after a 105-day stay.
The newborn baby boy was born on May 20, when his mother was only 23 weeks and four days pregnant, at Shenzhen Maternity and Child Healthcare Hospital, as reported by the South Daily.
Nicknamed Little Zebao, he is recognised as the lightest premature baby in Guangdong province.
His skin was as thin as a cicada’s wing, with tiny blood vessels visible beneath the surface. The soles of his feet were smaller than an adult’s thumb, according to the report.
Doctors discovered that the baby’s intestinal tract was as thin as a piece of hair and his immune system was not yet developed.
Upon birth, the baby was immediately transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit, where he received dedicated treatment and care from the hospital’s medical staff.
