Sixteen Pound Baby Born In Texas

Largest baby in the world - 7.3 kg boy and 16 pounds

A woman in Texas has given birth to a baby boy, who may be the largest ever born in the state. Last Friday Janet Johnson gave birth to her fourth child, a 16-pound (7.257kg) baby boy - that is twice the weight of an average healthy newborn. The baby was two-foot long, has a 17-inch chest and a full head of hair. doctors had warned her the baby might be large - perhaps 12 to 13 lbs, they had said. Nobody expected a 16-pound baby. A Texas mom expected a big baby, but nothing like this: 16 pounds, 1 ounce (7.3 kilograms). You can read full news in http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/230835.php. I think this is first time born 16 pounds and 7 kg child share your views what you think about it. You read this news previously or I am the first person to telling you. Michael Brown said: "We may finally have a star football player in the family, or maybe a basketball player. I was just amazed when he came out, how big he was. I'm just proud of him, (we are a) proud family."

Gotta love the instant reaction: "We may finally have a star football player in the family" (italics mine). No pressure there. Nope. That's one dad who's not going to push his son into being things he might not want to be. Surely not. No way. Poor kid.

Ohhh you are happy because one foofball player is came in our world. But really this is dangerous for baby's life because more weight is not good. God bless him from me and all mylotter. thanks for sharing your view.

I was being sarcastic. Personally, I hope he doesn't have any health problems or anything and grows up happy and healthy. I just think his father's reaction is appalling. He's basically saying: "My dreams of having a sports star in the family have come true" and he's likely to push the poor kid into being an over-achieving, stressed-out little boy.

The baby was delivered by Caesarean section, so labour may not have been so bad after all. I guess that CS would have been planned, since the scans must have shown how large the baby was.

She developed pregnancy diabetes which was what caused the baby to be so large.

Yes friend you are right how she can bear the pain because a boby born is not easy work and huge baby means more pain. But which food she eat so she born world largest baby. 7 kg is not easy.

That weight is pretty scary to me, the baby is just overweight. Maybe the mother ate a lot of sweet food that is why the baby was born big. Hopefully the baby doesn't have any abnormal conditions because of his overweight body. And I hope the mother was fine after delivering a very big baby...I bet the baby is so cute because he is big...

I have not read this report. Thanks for informing. US has the reputation of creating records. two years back a lady delivered eight babies. there was a news report recently that she is finding it difficult to manage her living with her 14 children.(she had six earlier). Let us wish the baby and mother good health.

I wish you get a child by January 2013. If you believe -- Please take a Rs.10 note and put it inside a white cover and close it. Write on top of it "Sri Garbharakshambigai temple" and pray that you may visit this temple after child birth. this place is near Kumbakonam (Tanjore District). I am giving the link: http://www.sri-karparakshambigai-temple.com/ You please do not send any money to any person. After a year or so when required I will give further details about visiting this temple. Also listen to this youtube link every day either in the morning or evening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yyTKAIHLYg blessings and good wishes

Mom had gestational diabetes which leaves one prone to having super sized babies. I've got to admit though, that 'little' guy gave me quite a pause. He looks big enough to waltz right out of that hospital.

Thanks for response friend really the baby is huge in size but he is very well.

Oh my! Every pregnant lady wonders what the birth weight of her baby will be. My oldest son I thought was large and heavy at 9 lb and 4ozs. My disabled son was less at 7lbs and 11ozs. My daughter was slightly more at 8 lb exactly. Janet Johnson's baby son was more like a three month old baby. I imagine that baby boy will put on much weight every week. I hope that the boy has a bright future.

Yes friend Janet baby is looks like 3 to 4 month old baby. Really how she can bear the weight of this baby till 9 months. Shocking news but good thing is everything is all right baby as well as mother. thanks for sharing your view.

Wow I had not heard this before, I stumbled on your discussion and the article you posted. I have been really sick lately and in bed a lot and was not reading and or hearing the news lately. That is amazing to have such a big child. Wow, both of mine were over 8 pounds and they were very long length children. So I can't imagine one that big. Although my ex-sister-in-law had 3 and all were 12 pounds and they are very tall even the girl almost 6 feet tall. Thanks for sharing this, as I find it to be pretty amazing.
