The world’s smallest baby was born in Tokyo and weighed just over half a pound at birth. He now has left Tokyo’s Keio University hospital and is headed home.
At birth the baby boy weighed only 268 grams, that’s a little bit over half a pound.
After five months of nutrition management, the baby’s weight is now up seven pounds-two ounces, becoming the world’s smallest baby boy to be sent home healthy.
Before that the record was held by a male infant in Germany who weighed 274 grams at his birth in 2009.
