Good luck and godspeed tiny little micro baby.
I would think that’s a world record! Mind blown. 1lb, 1oz is hard to imagine. My ex and I are small and our 2 babies were 6-7x that size.
And this is why America shows abysmal rates of “babies not surviving”. We try to save every one, even if hopeless, and those numbers count against us. (I’m so dumb, what’s the word I’m looking for here?)
Infant mortality
That is not why we have such bad statistics when it comes to infant mortality.
…because we put too much effort into trying to save them?
Correct. That is not why we have terrible infant mortality rates.
Good to luck to that poor kid being likely to have a lifetime of health issues.
It may be an unpopular opinion, but saving extremely low birth weight babies is only uplifting for the parents. It’s a terrible sentence for the baby. Just look up health issues associated with low birth weight. They can pop up at any time in the person’s life, from infanthood to late adulthood.
/opinion of a sickly person who was born low weight
how much is it in dollars?
