World's smallest girl returned home from hospital after 13 months

The weight of the child is usually 2 to 4 kg at birth, but the weight of a baby girl born in Singapore was only 212 grams at birth.

You will be surprised to know that the weight of the baby girl was only as much as an apple.

Actually, this girl was born in the 5th month itself and many of its organs were not developed.

Because of this, the girl was kept in the ICU since birth.

Now 13 months later, on Sunday, the girl was discharged from the hospital and she went home with her parents.

According to the BBC, this baby girl was born on June 9 last year at the National University Hospital in Singapore.

He was 24 cm tall at birth and weighed 212 grams.

The baby girl has been named Quac Yu Xuan.

The nurse who took care of the girl in the ICU herself was surprised to see her.

According to The Strait Times, the nurse had said- 'I had not seen such a case in my career of 22 years.

The girl was so young.

The girl was kept in the ICU for 13 months.

For some time, the condition of the girl had become such that she had to be kept on ventilator as well.

Right now the weight of the baby is 6.3 kg.

It is believed that this girl is the youngest child in the world so far in the premature case.

Treating the child before time was also no less than a challenge.

His skin was so delicate that doctors could not examine him, his body was so small that doctors had to find the smallest size breathing tube.

Even for her, a diaper had to be worn in three parts, so that it could fit the baby.

Doctors say that keeping the girl alive even in this adverse situation amid the corona epidemic is nothing short of a miracle.

According to a registry by the University of Iowa, the previous record for the lightest baby at birth was previously held by a girl born in the United States in 2018 who weighed 245 grams.
