Affectionately nicknamed “chubby” by the doctors at Guangdong Provincial Hospital, this remarkable baby also stood out for more than his size. He was born with a shock of hair, had a robust build, and a face that appeared unusually “mature” for a newborn.
Typically, newborns weigh between 2.8 to 3.4 kilograms, making this baby’s birth weight more than double the norm. Babies born with higher-than-average birth weights are categorized into two groups: physiological and pathological. In this case, it’s likely that gestational diabetes contributed to the baby’s remarkable size.
As this little one embarks on his journey through life, he will undoubtedly continue to astonish and delight those around him, leaving a remarkable tale of his dramatic entry into the world.
