Tehran(KNA) : One of the world's smallest babies to ever survive weighs the same as a bar of chocolate.
Manushi, who was born 12 weeks early, weighed just 0.88lb - the same as a big bar of Cadbury's chocolate - with her foot being the size of her father's thumbnail.
The youngster, from Rajasthan, India, who measured just 8.6 inches long, is thought to be the smallest surviving baby ever born in Asia.
Manushi, who was born not breathing, with paper-thin skin and underdeveloped organs, is being discharged from hospital after six months, but still weighs just 5.2lbs.
Despite being given a 0.5 per cent chance of surviving without brain damage, doctors say she appears intellectually normal.
Manushi mother Seeta, 48, and father Giriraj, 50, said: 'She's just fought and fought and fought against all the odds, but she's made it.'
