The tiny premature baby whose foot was just an INCH long - but who's amazed doctors by reaching his second birthday

Kalel Fitz was christened after Superman - who was called Kalel on the planet Krypton - because of his brave battle to stay alive. 

He was born at just 23 weeks and weighed 1lb and 8oz with his foot measuring just one inch in length (left). 

His parents were warned he was unlikely to survive and were asked to consider turning off his ventilator. 

But the toddler, from Leicestershire, rallied and started gaining weight. Kalel, who turns two next month, is now breathing unaided for the first time after his oxygen tube was removed (inset). 

His mother, Kaye Latham, said: 'The nurses didn't know how to pronounce it so they just called him "Superman" but it wasn't until we had him christened he really lived up to his name.'
