miracle’ Premature Baby, Who Weighed 410g At Birth, Celebrates Her ‘graduation’ From Hospital After 83 Days
Siphesihle Lambatha is less than three months old but has already proven herself to be a little fighter.
After spending 83 days in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Melomed Hospital in Gatesville, Athlone, the infant who weighed only 410g at birth this week finally got to go home.
The tiny patient’s paediatrician, Dr Shukri Raban, said Siphesihle was one of the 10 smallest babies born in South Africa.
“410g, put into context, is not much bigger than a tub of margarine,” he said. “Lengthwise, she was not much taller than a half a ruler – less than 15cm.”
On the day she was discharged, her proud mother Yandisa Ngele Lambatha took home a 1.84kg baby girl.
