World's smallest baby

The survival of the world's smallest baby boy has been hailed as a medical miracle.

The survival of the world's smallest baby boy has been hailed as a medical miracle after he was prematurely born weighing only 275g – lighter than a can of Coke.

The baby boy, who was born in Göttingen hospital, Germany, last June, was born at 25 weeks old and was kept in an incubator for weeks before being allowed to go home with his parents in December.

A picture of the baby, just 27cm long at birth, with glassy skin and attached to the tubes keeping him alive, has been released by the hospital only now because doctors are confident he is strong enough to survive.
