Baby Colin was born last week, weighing in at twice the amount of an average newborn.
Born in South Carolina, US, the birth has managed to set a new record for the hospital – with Colin weighing in at 14.5lb (roughly 6.5kgs). He’s the biggest baby ever born at Lexington Medical Center.
Colin Keisler’s father, Authur Keisler told US Nine news, “He’s a toddler at three days old”.
Considering an average newborn will tip the scales at 7.5 lbs, we’re inclined to agree with Arthur on that one.
“The O.R. ah -as soon as he came out, they said ‘we have to weigh him right now’. Instead of waiting. So they pulled a scale out and they put him on there, and as soon as they saw 14 pounds it was like this amazing reaction,” Arthur continued.
Colin’s Mother, Cindy, is doing well, returning home with baby Colin today.
Both parents are hoping their (not so) little boy will have a love of sports, football specifically.
Danielle Mackay was born in Australia in 2009, and weighed a massive 6.28kg .
First-time mum Danielle Mackay thought her tummy was massive, but she never imagined just how huge her baby would be. Jo Knowsley reports.
Danielle Mackay was impatient. It was June 20 – five days past her due date – and she was getting anxious about when her first baby would be born.
But neither she nor her doctors at Townsville Hospital had any idea how big a surprise was waiting to be delivered.
Chelsea Rose was born on June 25 measuring 55cm long and weighing a staggering 6.28kg (13lb 8oz) – one of Australia’s biggest babies ever.
Almost twice the size of an average newborn, her alert hazel eyes and strong back made her look more like a bouncing six-month-old.
