An infant baby girl has recently made headlines
in southwest China, after surviving a miscarriage.
The little one proved a miraculous survival
as she was born at just 23 weeks.
Weighing only 660 grams and less than 30 centimeters
tall, the ultra-light baby girl was affectionately
called the "Chopstick Baby" due to her height
just reaching the length of a chopstick.
Doctor Nianhai, chief of Pediatrics at the
Southwest Hospital said she was born after
a spontaneous abortion - which is normally
almost impossible for a baby to survive.
The baby girl is still weak and is receiving
special care around-the-clock in an incubator.
The toughest task, according to doctors, is
to give the baby injections as it's extremely
hard for paramedics to accurately locate the
vein on her tiny hand.
The doctors said that as a premature infant,
the baby's organs are yet to be fully developed,
and the paramedics will have to pay close
attention to any abnormal signs that could
threaten her fragile life.
