Mum praises staff as miracle baby born at 23 weeks battles on

For babies born at 23 weeks, there is a very low survival rate.

However, a micro preemie born at the Wishaw Hospital 17 weeks early is continuing to defy the odds.

Little miracle Innes was born on March 4 at 23 weeks, two days, weighing a tiny 600 grams.

His mum Lynne McRitchie told the Wishaw Press her son was not due to be born until June 29.

He is now almost two-months-old and weighs one pound, 260 grams.

Lynne said: “The care both Innes and our family have received has been amazing.

“The staff have become a second family.”
