Doctors gave Richard Scott William Hutchinson, who was born nearly four months early, a 0% chance of surviving.

When he was born at the Minneapolis’ Children’s Minnesota Hospital at 21 weeks, Richard weighed 11.9 ounces, only a tenth of an average full term baby’s weight, and could fit in the palm of one of his parents hands.

His doctors described Richard’s survival as miraculous and in the process, the Guinness World Records named him, the youngest premature baby to survive.

Richard, who is now home with his parents after spending over six months in a neonatal unit, celebrated his first birthday on June 5, 2021.
