Question

When two babies are born sick or premature and one is a boy and the other girl,why is there more possibility of the girl surviving?

Answer 1

"Researchers found that in cases where boys and girls had equal chances of survival, girls were less likely than boys to receive intensive care. It's not clear why, but Langer said heavier babies tend to get intensive care more often, and boys tend to be heavier"

Answer 2

Scientists and doctors are not sure exactly why girls have a better chance of survival, but anyone who has spent time in an nicu knows this is a fact, especially for micro-preemies. Girls appear to be more developed when they are born, especially the lungs. Many preemies die from lung problems.

When my son was in the nicu the wimpy white boys - as they were known - definitely had the toughest time. Luckily, my son is extremely healthy now.
