This bundle of joy is baby Saybie who has become the world's tiniest surviving newborn. The infant was born at a San Diego hospital three months early and weighing just 8.6 ounces in December last year. She has since been cared for by a dedicated team of medical experts at the Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women & Newborn. Amazingly, the hospital revealed the youngster to the world on Wednesday May 29 and she is now well enough to go home. Doctors feared Saybie's mother's life was at risk and were forced to perform an emergency cesarean section just 28 weeks into the pregnancy. Born weighing at only 8.6 ounces, Saybie whose parents weren't identified and whose name was changed by the hospital, was so small she could fit in the palm of a hand. Saybie is considered both the world's smallest baby and smallest surviving baby. The official records are maintained by Tiniest Baby Registry, managed by the University of Iowa. Sharp Mary Birch, which has the largest Level III NICU in San Diego County, is recognized among the best hospitals in the world in caring for micro preemies, a term given to very small premature infants. 30 May 2019 Pictured: Baby Saybie 3 lbs March 2019.
