Brazilian Woman Has 14 - Pound Baby
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (AP) -- A 14-pound girl delivered by Caesarean section is so large that her feet reach over the edge of her small crib, hospital officials said Tuesday.
The baby born Sunday, Isabel Vitoria, measured 23.23 inches, is far from the largest baby born in Brazil -- a baby born in January 2005 in the northeastern city of Salvador weighed 16 pounds, 11 ounces.
According to Guinness World Records, the heaviest baby born to a healthy mother was a boy weighing 22 pounds, 8 ounces, born to Carmelina Fedele in Aversa, Italy in September 1955.
