Baby Giant
It was a boy born in 1954 to Signora Fedele from Aversa, which is located in Italy. His weight was ten kilograms and two hundred grams! And the heaviest child born by cesarean section was also a boy and he weighed like a child from Aversa.
The tiniest newborn
was born on December 6, 1961 to the Englishwoman Marian Taggart. The baby was born six weeks ahead of schedule and weighed 283.5 grams, while the norm was 3200 grams for a newborn. The girl was born without any help from medical staff. When Mrs. Taggart finally sought medical attention, the doctors were truly dumbfounded and, for 30 hours, nursed the baby: Doctor D. A. Shearer fed the baby a mixture of glucose and water every hour. Careful attention and careful care had a positive effect – in three weeks the child became stronger and gained weight up to 822 grams. A year later, the girl weighed over six kilograms. At 21, her weight was already forty-eight kilograms. Truly a Christmas miracle!
