A baby boy who weighed just 268g at birth has been discharged from hospital in Japan. The baby was born through C-section in August and he is believed to be the tiniest baby boy on earth.
The baby boy was born at 24 weeks. He spent five months in the hospital and was nurtured in the intensive care unit.
His weight is now 3.2kg, and he is now feeding normally. He was released from the hospital last week, two months after his due date.
"I can only say I'm happy that he has grown this big because honestly, I never expected he would survive", said the baby's mother, according to Tokyo Keio University Hospital.
Doctor Takeshi Arimitsu, who treated the unique baby, said the baby was the smallest infant born to be taken out of the hospital in good health, according to a database of the world's tiniest babies held at the University of Iowa.
Besides, Doctor Takeshi said he wanted to show that there is a possibility that the tiniest babies will be able to leave the hospital in good health.
