How premature can a baby be born healthily?
With extensive medical support and advancements in medical technology, some babies born as early as 24-25 weeks have survived without major disabilities. These cases, however, are still considered medically fragile and may require ongoing intervention throughout their development. Babies born before 28 weeks and below a specific birth weight face increased risks of health complications, learning disabilities, and the need for special educational support during childhood. As such, the concept of a "healthy" premature birth largely depends on the gestational age and support provided, and each case should be individually assessed by medical professionals.
