Weighing just 330 g (0.72 lb), baby girl Adiah was born 23 minutes before her brother, Adrial, who weighed 420 g (0.92 lb). At a combined 750 g (1.65 lb), they are the lightest twins at birth ever.

The record-breaking Nadarajah twins entered the world at a gestational age of exactly 22 weeks. If they’d been born even one hour earlier, no attempt would have been made to save their lives.

Wow! We had a son a few years ago who weighed 490 g at birth (who’s doing well now). It’s hard to imagine a baby born smaller who survived. 500 g was considered the weight of viability at our hospital.
