The world's smallest baby boy, who was born in October in Japan weighing as much as an apple, is now ready for the outside world, his doctor said April 19.

The world's smallest baby boy, who was born in October in Japan weighing as much as an apple, is now ready for the outside world, his doctor said Friday.

リンゴと同じ重さほどで10月、日本で誕生した世界で最も小さい男の子が外の世界に出る準備ができたと金曜に彼の主治医が述べた。

 

Ryusuke Sekiya was delivered via emergency Caesarean section, after 24 weeks and five days of pregnancy as his mother Toshiko experienced hypertension.

せきやりゅうすけさんは、彼の母のとしこさんの高血圧によって24週と5日後に緊急帝王切開にて生まれた。

 

At 258 grams (9.1 ounces) he was even lighter than the previous record holder, another Japanese boy who weighed just 268 grams when he was born last year. That baby was discharged from a Tokyo hospital in February.

258グラムの彼は、昨年誕生した268グラムの日本の男の子の保持していた記録よりも軽かった。その子どもは2月に東京病院から退院した。

 

When Ryusuke was born on October 1, 2018, he measured 22 centimetres (8.66 inches) tall, and medical staff kept him in a neonatal intensive care unit.

りゅうすけさんが2018年10月1日に誕生した際、22センチで、新生児集中治療室にて医療スタッフが常駐していた。

 

They used tubes to feed him, sometimes taking cotton swabs to apply his mother's milk to his mouth.

スタッフは彼に食べ物を食べさせるのに、チューブを使っていた。ときどき彼の口に母親のミルクをあげるために、消毒綿を使っていた。

 

Nearly seven months later, the boy has grown 13 times in weight, now weighing over three kilogrammes. He will be released from Nagano Children's Hospital in central Japan over the weekend.

7か月近くたつと、男の子は体重が13倍になり、現在3キロ以上である。週末には、長野子ども病院に移送される。

 

"When he was born, he was so small, and it seemed as if he would break with a touch. I was so worried," his mother Toshiko told reporters.

「彼が生まれたとき、とても小さく、触ると崩れてしまうのではと思い、とても心配していた。」と母のとしこさんはレポーターに答えた。

 

"Now he drinks milk. We can give him a bath. I am happy that I can see him growing," she said. 

「今彼はミルクを飲んでいる。我々は彼をお風呂に入れることができる。彼の成長を見られて私はとても幸せです。」

 

The smallest surviving girl was born in Germany in 2015 weighing 252 grams, according to a registry put together by the University of Iowa of the world's tiniest surviving babies.

The survival rate for tiny babies is substantially lower for boys than for girls.

 

世界で最も小さく生きた赤ちゃんについてアイオワ大学によりまとめられた登録によると、2015年にドイツで252グラムで生まれた子が最も小さく生まれ生きている女の子である。非常に小さい赤ちゃんの生存率は女の子よりも男の子のほうが実際低い。
