World’s smallest baby ever recorded finally goes home after year in hospital

Never has there been a teensier tot.

The smallest baby the world has ever known defied fate and, after spending over a year at Singapore’s National University Hospital, has finally gone home to her family.  Little Kwek Yu Xuan was born via emergency C-section weighing about as much as a softball — just 7.5 ounces, or 0.4 pounds — making her by many accounts the lightest baby ever delivered. It also meant her likelihood of survival was limited. Despite her fragile entrance into Earth, the hospital announced this weekend that she had been discharged, CNN reported.
