"A picture message circulating online claims to show a miracle in India where a mother gave birth to a 105-year-old baby! Accompanying pictures indeed depict the baby with wrinkly skin, giving the appearance of extreme old age. However, the claim that the baby is 105 years old is not true.
Claims about 105-Year-Old Baby Born in India These claims are circulating online through social media and online outlets like itechsky.net. Note that the website name is visible in another picture circulating on Twitter and WhatsApp.
Allegedly, a doctor conducted a blood test to determine the baby's age as 105 years. They also quote a Quran verse about resurrection with the birth of a very old baby. Moreover, the pictures appeared with other stories like 'Baby born looking like a 105-year-old man in India' and 'Indian Woman Gave Birth to Miracle Baby Looks 105 Years Old.'
The Actual Story Contrary to these claims, the baby in the pictures is not 105 years old. Back in June 2015, the baby was unfortunately born with a rare skin condition that made her skin appear wizened and aged. News about the unusual birth of the baby girl, in the seventh month of pregnancy, spread across the village in North India.
The baby weighed just 800 grams at birth, and her parents rejected her because of her rare skin condition. No one held the baby in their hands as they feared they would catch the disease. The abandoned baby suffered and battled for life for two weeks. Thankfully, her grandmother came to her rescue, feeding her goat's milk and managing to get her to a hospital in Maharashtra, India.
Doctors explained that the baby's unusual features could be the result of Intrauterine Growth Retardation (IUGR) and some chromosomal abnormality. Mumbai's Wadia Hospital agreed to cover the cost of her treatment and also arranged accommodation for the baby's grandfather on the hospital premises."
