do I hold the record?

Hi guys.. I was just wondering whats the biggest baby you've had?  Mine is my son born on the 4th feb 15, 5.2kg (11lbs 9oz) 57 cms long and head was 38cms..  I had an unplanned c-section because there's no way I could've safety delivered him..  my body wouldn't go past 5cms after hours of very good contractions

He couldn't regulate his blood sugar. Many babies over 5kg (about 10.5lbs) have that problem.

I took care of a 16 pound baby in the NICU in Texas two years ago! He was gigantic. He didn't fit in our newborn cribs and our blankets couldn't swaddle him!
