THIS is the moment the mother of the UK’s youngest surviving baby got to hold her daughter for the first time.
Claire Cressey said cuddling and kissing Emily, who was born at 24 weeks, was “the best moment of my life”.
The 34-year-old from Coldstream in the Borders enjoyed a precious 20 minutes with her daughter on the most fitting of days, Mothering Sunday.
Emily, who weighed just 1lb 3oz when she was born on 27 February, could legally have been aborted.
However, after receiving “fantastic” care at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, the infant is thriving and now weighs just over 1lb 10oz.
