Biggest Baby Born In China

A mother in central China has given birth to a seven-kilogram baby, possibly the largest newborn in the country's record books.

The state-run Tianjin Post said the 29-year-old mother in Henan province gave birth to the boy on Saturday by caesarean section.

It said the delivery took just 20 minutes and both mother and the baby, named Chun Chun, were fine.

The paper said the parents were average size and there was nothing unusual about his mother's pregnancy or diet.

The paper said it was not immediately clear whether Chun Chun's 7.04 kilograms made China's record books.
Guinness World Records says the heaviest newborn ever recorded was born to an Ohio woman in 1879 and weighed 10.77 kilograms.
