Indonesian Woman Has 19 Pound Baby

(Sept. 24) - The largest baby ever born in Indonesia was delivered by cesarean section at a public hospital Monday, according to Agence France-Press.

The boy measured 24.4 inches long and weighed 19.2 pounds, a doctor told the newswire, and appears healthy.
"The way he's crying is not like a usual baby," the doctor said. "It's really loud."
The Daily Mail said the mother named her son Muhammad Akbar Risuddin after a local chief. Akbar means "big," the British paper reported.


Indonesia welcomed the largest newborn ever birthed in that country on Monday. The child weighed 19.2 pounds. Doctors delivered him via cesarean section. The boy, above right, lies next to a more typical-sized newborn at a hospital in North Sumatra province.

I'd say the mother wasn't crying like the usual mother giving birth, either! Yikes!! Now, that's a big baby!!!

That's the biggest newborn that I've ever seen.

I can't help but wonder about this mother's diet? She is going to need a lot of energy and strength to handle that big guy!
