A really premature baby

Richard Scott William Hutchinson was born 131 days (5 months) prior to the expected due date and weighed just 11.9 ounces. Richard was so tiny his parents could hold him in a single palm of their hands. Guinness said he is the world's most premature baby. His mother, Beth Hutchinson, suffered medical complications that caused her to go into labor.

In December 2020, after spending more than six months in the hospital, Richard was able to go home with his family and celebrate his first birthday.
