Baby Born At 24 Weeks Weighing Same As Jar Of Spaghetti Sauce Beats The Odds

A baby born at 24 weeks weighing less than a jar of spaghetti sauce has finally been able to go home after nine months in the NICU. Mom Brittany Johnson, from Baltimore, Maryland gave birth to baby daughter Sloane via a caesarean, on May 20, 2022, with her baby girl weighing just one pound, five ounces. Sloane was born with a rare genetic mutation causing masses on her lungs and had pulmonary hypertension at birth. Brittany, 30, said as a result, Sloane spent the next few months fighting for her life at Mount Washington Pediatric Hospital before she had a tracheotomy, G-tube and hernia repair surgery.
