A Falkirk baby born 24 weeks premature is at the forefront of the new season of BBC Scotland documentary series Tiny Lives, as doctors race against time to save the little tot.
This week, Tiny Lives meets baby Michael who, born at just 24 weeks, is four months premature.
His eyes are still fused shut and his lungs are only half grown. Michael is at the limit where babies can be born prematurely and still do well.
