BOY AGE 5 IS MIDWIFE TO BROTHER, THEN SAVES HIS LIFE

A little boy aged FIVE bravely delivered his newborn brother - then promptly saved his life. When Joby Graves' mum Kelly went into sudden labour at home, the tiny tyke was first on the scene - comforting his mother, calling for help and bringing towels to swaddle the baby.But when his baby brother Harley Jae wasn't breathing, Joby jumped into action, untangling the cord from around his neck as his mother revived him. Now Kelly Graves has dubbed her eldest son her "little superhero" for his bravery and quick-thinking under pressure.Delighted Kelly, 28, from Mansfield, Notts., said: "I really believe Joby helped to save Harley's life. If he hadn't unlooped the cord from around his neck I would have had to try to do it myself on my own and we would have lost valuable time."Harley was choking and Joby knew just what to do. I'm so proud of him, he was so calm and collected. He was absolutely fantastic and I completely underestimated him."
