'Miracle' baby born weighing a tiny 1lb 2oz and kept alive in a sandwich bag now healthy two-year-old

A “miracle” baby who weighed just 1lb 2oz at birth and was kept alive in a sandwich bag to mimic the womb is now a healthy two-year-old, despite still being “tiny” for her age.

Chesil-Jade Lim weighed the same as a loaf of bread when she was born and spent 99 days in hospital fighting for her life after arriving 10 weeks early. Doctors told her “terrified” family to say their goodbyes, but Chesil-Jade beat the odds.

Now the little one - born on August 22 2019 at Mater Hospital, Brisbane, Australia - loves nothing more than to cuddle up with her favourite toy, a tiny rag doll that is the size she was as a newborn.
