The 5 largest newborn babies in the world.

(Baonghean.vn) - Newborn boys weighing 6.1kg in Nam Dinh and 6kg in Nghe An have recently attracted public attention, but these are not rare cases in Vietnam or the world. Among the world's largest newborns, some weigh almost three times as much as the 6.1kg boy in Vietnam.

Nghe An: Record-breaking birth of a baby boy weighing 6 kg.

1. The world's heaviest newborn baby.

On June 4, 2015, an Australian woman gave birth to a giant baby weighing 18 kg at King Edward Memorial Hospital in India. The baby's weight astonished the doctors and nurses at the hospital. This baby's weight was equivalent to that of a 6-year-old child, breaking the world record for the heaviest newborn, a record that had stood for nearly 180 years. Long before that, in 1839, the record was held by a South African baby weighing approximately 17.2 kg.

2. The heaviest baby in Indonesia.

This baby, named Akbar – which means "Great" in Arabic – is recorded as the heaviest newborn in Indonesia, weighing 8.7 kg and measuring 62 cm in length. Akbar was born on September 21, 2009, via natural delivery. Doctors believe Akbar's weight may have resulted from excessive glucose levels during his mother's pregnancy.

3. The tiny giants of Siberia

On September 26, 2007, baby Nadia Khalina was born in Siberia weighing an astonishing 7.75 kg. Her mother said that during her pregnancy she ate almost exclusively potatoes and developed gestational diabetes. Khalina (left) compared to a baby of normal weight.

4. The heaviest newborn baby in the United States.

In 2011, JaMichael was born weighing 7.28 kg, double the average weight of a newborn in Texas, becoming the largest baby in the state of Texas. His father, Michael Brown, was quite shocked by his size at birth: "The doctor told us he would weigh around 5.5 kg, but when he was born, it was a different story." JaMichael was 0.6 meters tall, with a head circumference of 3.8 cm and a chest circumference of 43 cm. These dimensions are equivalent to those of a 6-month-old child.

5. Giant newborn baby in Brazil

On January 18, 2005, a newborn baby weighing 7.6 kg was born at the Sabin Albert Maternity Hospital in Salvador, 900 miles northeast of Sao Paulo in Bahia state, Brazil. Francisca Ramos dos Santos, 38, gave birth to the healthy baby and named him Ademilton. He was the largest newborn in the hospital's 12-year history.
