On July 25, 1978, Louise Joy Brown, the world’s first baby to be conceived via in vitro fertilization (IVF) was born at Oldham and
District General Hospital in Manchester, England, to parents
Lesley and Peter Brown. The healthy baby was delivered shortly
before midnight by caesarean section and weighed in at five
pounds, 12 ounces.

Ann Turner Cook was chosen as the first Gerber Baby in 1928. On Saturday, she celebrated her 95th birthday.

In posts on social media, Gerber wished Cook, who went on to
become a novelist and English teacher, a Happy Birthday.
