SAN DIEGO — When she was born, the baby girl weighed about the same as an apple. Doctors told her father after the birth that he would have about an hour with his daughter before she died. Dr. Edward Bell, a professor of pediatrics at the University of Iowa, said Saybie had the lowest medically confirmed birth weight submitted to the registry. The hospital said the girl officially weighed 7 grams less than the previous tiniest baby, who was born in Germany in 2015. The tiny girl slowly gained weight in the neonatal intensive care unit.
