An Indonesian woman, Ani Curry gave birth to a 19.2 pound baby Akbar Risuddin

People are flocking to an Indonesian hospital for a quick look of the country's largest ever recorded 19.2 pound new born baby. Tipping the scales at a big 19.2 pounds (24.4-inch) 2-foot-long new born Baby, who has not yet been given a name, was born by Caesarean section at a hospital in North Sumatra province in Indonesia. This must be the biggest baby born in the twenty first century. It is very shocking news as the baby weighted 19.2 pound at the time of the birth.

The biggest baby world record of 23 pounds was set in 1879 (the biggest newborn in the world was 4 pounds heavier). The 19.2 lb baby is now recorded as the largest baby born in Indonesia and just a few pounds short of the world record holder, a 23 lb. baby born in 1879. Indonesia's previous heaviest baby, weighing in at 6.9 kilos, was born in 2007 on the outskirts of the capital Jakarta, according to the Indonesian Museum of Records website.

An Indonesian woman named Ani gave birth to a 19.2 pound baby with the great joy in this week.The baby is the woman's fourth child. The child was born the size of a nearly one-year-old .The boy's huge size was probably the result of his 41-year-old mother having diabetes. ”When a diabetic mother's glucose level is high during pregnancy, the baby can receive too much glucose and grow too large."

Dr. Binsar Sitanggang, who delivered the baby, told about 19.2 pound baby “His legs were so big. This heavy baby made the surgery really tough, especially the process of taking him out of his mum’s womb". The boy is said to be healthy even with having to initially be given oxygen to overcome breathing problems.The baby cries louder than the other babies and eats constantly. But Ani Curry said the outsize child may be a special gift to his mother, who has three older children. She commented that Ani has “more to love” with her newborn.

Dr. Binsar Sitanggang said on Friday he get delivered Akbar Risuddin, a 19.2-pound (8.7 kilogram) boy. Akbar means big, or great, in Arabic. Sitanggang said crowds hoping to get a view of the extraordinary boy gathered at the Abdul Manan hospital in the town of Kisaran, North Sumatra province. He said the mother and child are in good condition after the 40-minutes operation. We sure hope the big guy is always extra-nice to his mother.
