Woman gives birth to 'giant baby'
BBC


In the corner, weighing in at 17lb: "giant baby" Ademilton dos Santos
A woman in Brazil has given birth to a "giant baby" weighing 17lb (8kg) - twice the size of an average newborn.
Ademilton dos Santos is the heaviest boy ever born in Brazil, says the Brazilian Gynaecological Association.

Ademilton was born by Caesarean section on Wednesday at a hospital in Salvador in north-eastern Brazil.

He is Francisca Ramos dos Santos' fifth child and doctors said his unusual size was probably due to his mother's diabetes condition.

Pediatrician Luiz Sena Azul said Ademilton "could truly be considered a giant baby, for he was born weighing what a six-month-old-baby normally weighs".
