Uber-Baby
A woman in Indonesia has given birth to a 19.2 pound baby. The boy, named Akbar (which means “the great” in Arabic”) is 24 inches tall.
That kid is a TANK.
Much to his mother’s relief, I’m sure, he was delivered via Cesarean section. According to medical professionals, Akbar’s tremendous size is linked to his mother’s gestational diabetes. The abnormally high levels of glucose in her blood allowed the baby to absorb far more nutrients than most while in utero. Dr. Binsar Sitanggang, who delivered the baby, said, “He is greedy and has a strong appetite, nursing almost non-stop.” Thanks for the enlightening update, doc. Who’d have thought that BabyZilla would eat a lot?
I don’t have anything especially insightful to say about this baby except, “Look at that baby! He’s freakin’ huge!” Just thought you should know.
