The World Health Organisation statistics state that the not-so-little boy is double the size of the average newborn.

According to the Guiness World Records, the heaviest baby born weighed in at 23lb. The infant was born to Anna Bates in her hometown in Ohio in January, 1879 but the baby sadly died just 11 hours later.

Another baby was later born in Italy in 1955 at 24lbs, but fortunately survived.
