A baby who survived against the odds after being born weighing just 1lb 2oz now snuggles up to a doll the same weight and length as her when she first arrived. Chesil-Jade Lim, now three, spent 99 days in hospital fighting for her life after she was born weighing just 1lbs 2oz – the same as a loaf of bread – on 22nd August 2019. The newborn – who arrived 10 weeks early at Mater Hospital, Brisbane, Australia – was so tiny and fragile she had to be kept alive in a sandwich bag which mimics the womb. Doctors even warned her ‘terrified’ family to say their goodbyes as they were so convinced the little girl was too sick to pull through. The tiny tot nearly lost her life several times but beat the odds to come home on 29th November 2019 to with parents Charm Pineda-Lim, 33, and Jose Lim, 32, who works in IT.
