Well I meant one to survive to see if it continued being massive, but I guess that really wasn't clear.

At the bottom of the article;

The Guinness Book of World Records says the heaviest baby ever was born to Anna Bates of Canada in 1879.

It weighed 23.12lb (10.8kg) and died 11 hours after birth.

Edit; damn too slow.

Died of bigamy. Shocking disease. I'd hate to be a bigot.

Don't blame the doctors.. giving birth to that would be like a cow spitting out a calf :eek:
