Doctors put 15-week premature baby in sandwich bag to keep her alive

Little Faith Findlay weighed just 1lbs 15oz when she was delivered by emergency c-section at 26 weeks in 2020 at the James Cook University Hospital, Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire - three months before her due date.

Doctors immediately bundled Faith into a see-through sandwich bag which mimics the womb and aims to prevent her body temperature dropping.
