Young Aston Dolas has finally left the UK’s tiniest foster home, thanks to his incredibly “modest” birth weight of 0.57 kg at just 22 weeks old. When the baby was less than the size of the mother’s palm, the doctor formed the opinion that there was little chance of success. However, the oᴜtсome of the case was miraculous, and it appeared to be the most hopeless circumstances.
