Born at just 23 weeks’ gestation, she weighed as much as a large apple.

Baby “Saybie” has claimed the title as the smallest surviving baby, weighing just 8.6 ounces (approx. 244 g). And after spending almost five months in the neonatal intensive care unit, Saybie was released from a San Diego hospital in May, NPR reported.
