Heaviest Birth
Anna Bates (née Swan) (Canada) (1846–88), who measured 2.27 m (7 ft 5.5 in) tall, gave birth to a boy weighing 10.8 kg (23 lb 12 oz) and measuring 76 cm (30 in) long, at her home in Seville, Ohio, USA, on January 19, 1879, but the baby died 11 hours later.
The heaviest baby born to a healthy mother was a boy weighing 10.2 kg (22 lb 8 oz) who was born to Sig. Carmelina Fedele (Italy) at Aversa, Italy in September 1955.
It was reported in a letter to the British Medical Journal (1 February 1879) from a doctor in Torpoint, Cornwall, UK, that a child born on Christmas Day 1852 weighed 9.5 kg (21 lb).
The only other reported birthweight in excess of 9 kg (2O lb) is 9.13 kg (20 lb 2 oz) for a boy born to a 33-year-old schoolmistress in Crewe, Cheshire, UK on November 12, 1884.
Guy Warwick Carr was born on March 9, 1992, the eighth child of Andrew and Nicola Carr (who measured 1.57 m (5ft 2in) tall) of Kirkby-in-Furness, Cumbria, UK, weighing 7 kg (15 lb 8 oz). He was 63 cm (25 in) in length and midwives at the Maternity Unit had to raid the Childrens Ward for nappies and clothes large enough to fit him.
The UK's lightest baby, Aaliyah Hart, born in Birmingham in May, weighed just 12oz (about 340g).
Alex Franks, born in 1999 at 22 weeks, and weighing just 1lb 1oz (about 420g), is thought to be the most premature baby to survive in the UK.
