Baby who was so small she was put in sandwich bag celebrates 1st birthday

Little Dali-Grey Woodgates is a miracle baby in every sense of the word. After five miscarriages, her mum Bryony Woodgates was thrilled to discover she was pregnant with a baby girl.

But at 22 weeks the world came crashing down for Bryony and her husband Liam, when she started bleeding heavily and having contractions. Four days later, Dali was born, making her one of the UK's most premature babies at just 23 weeks and one day.
