Woman Gives Birth to Heaviest Baby in India

Woman Gives Birth to Heaviest Baby in IndiaMother Goga Bai​ set a new record in India​ last week when she gave birth to a baby that weighs a whopping 13 pounds, reportedly setting the record for heaviest baby in the country. 
The 30-year-old mom gave birth to the big boy via caesarian on October 1 at a hospital near her hometown of Rajasthan in Northern India. According to Dr. Anamika Agarwal, one of the four doctors who delivered the newborn, he's certainly in a league of his own when it comes to baby weight.
"He is definitely the heaviest baby in the country. The normal weight of a newborn baby in India is 2.5 to 3.5kg [5 to 7lb]," Dr. Agarwal told The Huffington Post.
While the baby had breathing problems at first, both he and his mother are reportedly now in good health.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the heaviest baby in the world was born in Italy in 1955 and weighed 22 pounds and 8 ounces. The heaviest baby  in America weighed 15 pounds and 2 ounces and was born in January 2014.
