Baby born weighing 1.1lb (500g) heads home

[Eldorado 57,306]

A baby who weighed no more than a loaf of bread and whose skin was transparent when she was born four months early, has finally been allowed to go home.

Believed to be one of Scotland's youngest surviving premature babies, Sofia Viktoria Birina was born at just 22 weeks and four days.

She was given a 10% chance of survival during labour and even less chance of surviving after that.

But she has now thrived enough to leave her special care baby unit.
