Fighter Baby Who Was Born At 25 Weeks Now Towers Over Teddy Octopus That Once Dwarfed Him

Baby boy Bailey was born three months before his due date and was very tiny. At the time of his birth, the 2lb 6oz baby also had chronic lung disease and caught E.coli. He was put on a ventilator to fight off the battle. Bailey's parents bought him a cute teddy octopus to cuddle him in his crib when they could not, due to COVID rules. The cuddly toy was bigger than Bailey at that time, but now after 6 months the baby is healthy, happy, and can easily tower over his pal as seen in the picture.
