"An Indonesian woman has given birth to an 8.7-kilogramme (19.2-pound) baby boy, the heaviest newborn ever recorded in the country, a doctor said Wednesday."
The mother is diabetic, which may account for the increased growth rate: "When a diabetic mother's glucose level is high during pregnancy, the baby can receive too much glucose and grow too large, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists."
Doctors performed a C-section to get the baby out. Since his birth, the baby boy is on a non-stop feeding schedule.
