Pixie Griffiths-Grant, now five months old, of Goonhavern, Cornwall, was delivered at 28 weeks by Caesarean section, after she stopped feeding in the womb. Her weight quickly fell to less than 1lbs minutes after birth. Lighter than half a bag of sugar and smaller than her mother's hand, she was rushed to intensive care and her parents faced the devastating prospect she may not make it. Doctors put her in a Tesco freezer bag to keep her frail body warm and ward off hypothermia. Miraculously she survived and went on to battle infections, operations, and blood transfusions. Now, after spending weeks in hospital, she is finally at home with her mother Sharon Grant, 37, and weighs 7.5lbs (3.4kg). Mrs Grant (pictured inset) said: 'It's so lovely to have her home; there's been endless cuddles and lots of people eager to see her. It's amazing.'
