How much is a baby unlikely to survive? I looked up as you did thr conversion of grams to pounds and then looked up normal newborn weight… and it says less than 5 pounds is unhealthy, but not so fatal but won’t say how much is 50 50 of survival? And how much is a 99 percent chance? But I can wager a guess that less than a pound when 5 and a half pounds is dangerous must be… incredible.
My son was born at just over a pound and from the start they said his chances where very good and will just need time to grow in the NICU . From what I was told under a pound there is much more risk .
For the Americans who don’t understand the severity. 450 grams is less than 1 pound.![](https://lemmy.kya.moe/imgproxy?src=lemmy.world%2fpictrs/image/f3ecab6b-6844-4a8d-a82c-ca0402ea3874.png)
Hardly even a meal.
