Leeds baby girl fighting for her life after being born 13 weeks early

A Leeds baby girl is fighting for her life after being born weeks premature.

Sadie MacMillan was born 13 weeks early on October 21 after doctors had to perform an emergency c-section on her mother Holly, 19. Sadie, who was admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Leeds Hospital weighed just 970 grams at birth - about the same weight as dragon fruit.

Sadie is expected to remain in ICU for anywhere between eight to 13 weeks, and her father Lachlan believes the road ahead will be long. He said: "Holly is coping well with it all. She’s recovering well and is going from strength to strength, long recovery ahead though."
