Baby born 12 weeks early - weighing less than a loaf of bread - now thriving

A mum says her baby is thriving despite being born 12 weeks premature - weighing less than a loaf of bread.

Tiny tot Weston McMahan tipped the scales at just 1lbs 6oz and was rushed to the intensive care unit after his mum underwent an emergency c-section at just 25 weeks.

After spending the first six weeks of his life in hospital, mum Kaylie McMahan said he has made astonishing progress - is now back on a normal ventilator and she hopes to have him home soon.
