Delivering a Baby? No Sweat for This 2-Year-Old

Two-year-old Jeremiha Taylor can count to five, he's potty trained, oh, and he's a pro at delivering a baby. Seriously. On Friday, this little man was instrumental in the birth of his baby brother when his mom unexpectedly went into serious labor right on the living room sofa.

"I laid on the couch and he went and got a towel. He grabbed a towel on his own," mom Bobbye Favazza told The Commercial Appeal of Memphis. "It happened so fast. My water broke and the baby came two to three minutes later. I just pushed and he caught him."

When emergency personnel finally arrived Favazza was holding her baby, the cord still attached, and they waddled over to the front door to let them in. Ambulance workers cut the cord and transferred mom and baby to a local hospital, where they were discharged a short time later with no complications.

The birth of Favazza's fourth child, named Kamron Taylor, didn't go remotely as planned. She had a cesarean section scheduled for Dec. 6 — she delivered all her kids that way  — and she did have some pains the night before Kamron's birth, but didn't think they were related to labor.

Instead, she woke up the morning of Friday the 13^th and conducted family business as usual. But when her water broke just before 8:30 a.m. she knew she had little time to spare. She called her mother, who frantically called 911, and her 3-year-old panicked and sat on the couch and cried. Meanwhile, Jeremiha calmly sprang to action — and the rest is history.

"He's my little hero," Favazza declared. "It was like he knew what to do."

Perhaps she has an aspiring ob/gyn on her hands.
