This is the newborn who is fighting for life after weighing in at just 14 OUNCES.

Decklen Maize had to be delivered via an emergency C-section at 22 weeks and is just 10 inches long.

He weighs less than a loaf of bread.

His parents James Maize and wife Carrie decided to go through with the procedure after their son suffered an umbilical cord prolapse.

Decklen is now being cared for a St Mary Medical Center, in Apple Valley, California.

"If he’s a fighter, you know, we want him to fight and make his own decisions," Mr Maize said.

"It's rough…just being able to sit there at his bedside and just pretty much whisper."

The couple lost a daughter, Serenity, who was also born at 22 weeks last year.
