At birth, Indira had a lot of bubbling at the mouth and medics were left wondering why.
A Scots baby was born weighing a tiny 3lbs 1oz because she had stopped growing - leaving doctors baffled.
Dad Neil says: “The whole experience was terrifying but also surreal. We knew she was small in the womb, so we were prepared in a way but had no idea what to expect. “It was petrifying at first as she was so tiny and hooked up to a ventilator. Seeing her with all the tubes and wires was overwhelming, but we gradually got used to it.
“It would be easy to go stir crazy, sitting there day in day out, listening to all the beeping and hospital sounds. You just have to make yourself get used to it – you kind of numb yourself to it.” Neil continued, “The GI team decided she needed a NJ tube, which made a huge difference. She gained a third of her body weight in just one month.
