Pixie Griffiths-Grant was delivered three months premature by Caesarian section. Mrs Grant, of Goonhavem, Cornwall, was forced to deliver Pixie three months earlier because scans revealed that her baby had stopped from growing inside her womb in the span of 20 weeks.
After the delivery baby, Pixie was rushed in the intensive care, and left her parents outside the room distressed with a view that she may not overcome it.
But far from most expectation, the doctors had saved her life after immediately putting her into a Tesco sandwich bag, which reserved her temperature and mimicked the conditions of her mom's womb.
Even doctors did not anticipate that the newborn will stay alive longer than an hour. After prevailing over infections, operations and blood transfusions, Pixie, at this time is five months old and with her family at home.
"As soon as she was born, they gave her a little hat and put her straight into the bag to keep her body temperature up. After that they wrapped her in bubble wrap and got her straight to intensive care. It was so random that they had her in the Tesco bag - it must have just been what the operating theatre had at the time," Mrs. grant said.
The florist in Cornwall at the same time the first-time mother said: "My placenta and umbilical cord weren't feeding her properly. I was in and out of hospital for eight weeks being scanned constantly to see if she had grown, but she put on about 20g in those eight weeks. It was so scary having to get her checked all the time and I had all the doctors telling me all this bad news. It was awful. They wanted to get her to a certain weight before they delivered her, but she wasn't growing to that size."
It was not until Pixie was approximately two months old that Pixie began gaining strength.
However, prior this month, she aged five months and weighed 7.5lbs (3.4kg) - the equal weight as an infant - Mrs Grant was at last allowed to take her baby girl home.
Tiny Pixie - so-called since of her size - is now breathing without the help of administered oxygen.
