Nidhi moved to nursery from Ernakulam General Hospital (GH) last Thursday after being considered healthy enough. Her mother gave birth to her premature childbirth only 28 weeks after her pregnancy and then disappeared on January 29. In the nine weeks since, she has gone from an anaemia baby weighing only 950 grams to a relatively healthy baby weighing 2.50 kg.

On January 29, when the train arrived at Ernakulam, Nidhi’s mother was taken to GH after labor pains while she and her husband were heading to Jharkhand. They work at a fish farm in Kotayam. Shortly after delivery, the baby was transferred to a private hospital in the city for professional care. However, the mother disappeared shortly after she was discharged from the hospital. The baby is then transferred back to GH.
