Baby Theo Taylor, who weighed the same as a can of coke at birth, survives and doing well, says mother
Theo Taylor, born on March 15 and weighing at only 12 ounces, the same as a can of coca-cola, was on the brink on death for some time, before the little baby boy miraculously survived, and is now thriving.
According to Metro, Theo is believed to be the smallest baby boy to be born and survive in Britain. The child was born 26 weeks and five days premature. Just a day before Theo was born, doctors gave his mother a choice to terminate the pregnancy if she wanted. She was 19 weeks pregnant when she went to the doctor, where scans revealed that Theo was much smaller than what he was supposed to be at that time of the pregnancy.
