Big Arrival For 7.75-kilogram NewbornA SIBERIAN woman who gave birth to her 12th child was stunned to find that little Nadia weighed in at a massive 7.75 kilograms (17.1 pounds). Nadia was delivered by caesarean section in the local maternity hospital in the Altai region on September 17, joining eight sisters and three brothers, a local reporter said. "We were all simply in shock," said Nadias mother, Tatyana Barabanova, 43. "What did the father say? He couldnt say a thing — he just stood there blinking. "I ate everything; we dont have the money for special foods, so I just ate potatoes, noodles and tomatoes," she said, adding that her previous babies had weighed more than five kilograms. Guinness World Records lists a 10.2-kilogram baby boy born in Italy in 1955, and a 10.8-kilogram boy who was born in the US in 1879 but died 11 hours later. The average weight for most healthy newborn babies is about 3.2 kilograms, according to the World Health Organisation.
