I heard the same article, and I *think* they said they use it
for babies that are over 4 lb. at birth.  I imagine that a smaller
baby would be much less likely to survive without the special
technical help provided by respirators and incubators, since their
lungs and temperature control systems are more likely to be
quite immature.
