It started when a TikToker put out the call for people to share the story of their biggest babies, and TikTok user @shans1588 was only to happy to answer that call.
“Oh you want to play the biggest baby?” she replied. “I got you.”
Shans stood in front of the image of her son shortly after birth and explained.
“At 38 weeks and one day, I had my second son via C-section with two doctors assisting.”
“Because he came in at a whopping 14 pounds, point six ounces.”
That is just over six and a half kilograms!
Her baby was also almost 24 inches long, almost 60 centimetres.
In Australia, the average weight of a newborn is anywhere from 2.7 kilograms to four kilograms and the average length is around 50 centimetres.

‘I gave birth to a toddler’
“That’s right,” she says. “I gave birth to a toddler, who then spent 11 days in the NICU.”
“Where clearly, he was the biggest baby in there.
“The NICU didn’t even have diapers for him or clothes, they had to go upstairs to pediatrics and get size three diapers and he came home in clothing, sized six to nine months.”
