Baby Who Once Weighed 10 Ounces Is Now Thriving
A little girl born almost 19 months ago after just 22 weeks gestation and weighing less than 10 ounces is well on her way to her terrible two’s, her mother told the Daily Mail.Amillia Sonja Taylor is the first known baby to survive after a gestation period of fewer than 23 weeks. She was just 9 1/2 inches long when she was born Oct. 24, 2006. Full-term births come after 37 to 40 weeks.
Amillia left Baptist Children’s Hospital in Miami with her parents on February 21, 2007, 11 days before her actual due date and weighing just 4 pounds. She was still on oxygen at the time and needed asthma medication for her fragile lungs, the report said.

My son ways born at 25 weeks i could never think that of having on at 22 wk my thought are with this family. Stay stong and keep your heads up
What a precious little girl and wonderful parents. God bless her and her family.
It’s good to see that this mother and her daughter are doing well. A friend of mine went into labor at 20 weeks, and the baby didn’t make it. So it is good to see how far medicine is going for the lives of unfortuantly pre-mature babies. My prayers and thoughts to this fortunate mother and her little angel
God defenitely has a purpose for this little girl! his angels were all over this little baby…GOD bless this family…. PRAYER IS ALWAYS THE ANSWER!!!
She is a beautiful miricle. She is blessed to have parents that loved her enough to give her a chance at life.
