In this image from television, nurses hold the baby known as "Super Tonio," in Jesus Kumate Rodriguez hospital in Cancun Mexico Wednesday Jan. 31, 2007. At a whopping birth weight of 6.6 kilograms (14.5 pounds), the "little" fellow is causing a sensation in this Mexican resort city. According to doctors the baby drinks 5 ounces of milk every three hours, and measures 55 centimeters (22 inches) in length. Antonio's mother, Teresa Alejandra Cruz, 23, and father, Luis Vasconcelos, 38, said they were proud of the boy, and noted that Cruz had given birth to a baby girl seven years ago who weighed 5.2 kilograms (11.46 pounds).

28. Mom said I was born 11 lbs (5 kg)

But it was a DIY delivery at home so I have no way to confirm that.

9. 22 inches is actually not an atypical length.

Mine was almost that long.

I think that bebe looks longer than that.

Oh, one other comment:

OUCH! :scared:

[Left Is Write]

29. I don't think so either. One of my kids was 22 inches long -

(of course he was big too - 10 lbs, 9 oz - but even I was 21 inches at birth.)

12. Thank medical science for C-sections!!! Many of us are alive because of them!!!

[BlueIris]

14. One of my cousins was 14 lbs. at birth. And not so much with the

C-section for my auntie. Major, 1970s-style epidural, though. It was her first baby, too. They now believe that gestational diabetes was related to my cousin's high birthweight.

15. And so Mexican sumo wrestling is born.

Literally.

:evilgrin:

[Manifestor_of_Light]

22. C-sections are so much fun! NOT!

Especially a couple of days after surgery, when they make you get up and walk around, and you just KNOW your guts are gonna fall out in the floor. Even if you don't lean over.

[SeattleGirl]

24. Hon, I know EXACTLY what you mean. My daughter was born

by C-section. O.U.C.H!!

[Evoman]

23. Thats a big piece of baby, right there.

He's going to grow up to be like that guy in the Zorro movie...ya remember that? You know..the part where zorro hits that giant guy in the face with the cannonballs? That guy.

[HuffleClaw]
