Born 16 weeks early and weighing barely half a pound at birth, one of the smallest surviving babies ever born anywhere in the world is growing and thriving at a Los Angeles County Hospital. Melinda Star Guido may be tiny, but Global Birth Registry figures show that combining both gestational age and weight, Melinda is the third smallest baby ever born in the world. She was just 24 weeks old and weighed only 270 grams when she was born at Los Angeles County + University of Southern California Medical Center.
