A premature baby that doctors say spent less time in the womb than any other surviving infant is to be allowed home from a Florida hospital today. Amillia Sonja Taylor was just 9.5in long and weighed less than 10oz when she was born on October 24. She was delivered after just under 22 weeks of pregnancy; full-term births come after 37 to 40 weeks. Doctors said she is the first baby known to survive after a gestation period of fewer than 23 weeks. 'We weren't too optimistic,' said Dr William Smalling. 'But she proved us all wrong.'
