Baby who was so premature she was put in a sandwich bag celebrates 1st birthday

[Still Waters]

A little girl who was born at 23 weeks and one day is celebrating her first birthday.

Little Dali-Grey Woodgates from West Bridgford became one of the UK's most premature babies when she was born weighing just 1.2lbs.

Medical staff put her in a plastic sandwich bag to keep her warm as material would have damaged her fragile, translucent skin.

Her first nappy was about the size of a McDonald's ketchup sachet.

Now she is 13-months-old, weighs just over 19lbs, and breathes independently.

Her mum, Bryony, 30, said: "I don't think there's an hour that goes past that I don't look at her and think that she is a miracle. In the truest sense of the word, she is just a miracle.

A true miracle. I hope this little one continues to develop normally after such an intensely precarious start into this harsh world.
