Enormous baby was born in China

A Chinese woman has given birth to a baby weighing an enormous 6.1 kilograms, the Mirror reported.

The baby, which is twice the weight of an average baby born in China, weighs more than six bags of sugar.

The 27-year-old mum said it was a diet rich in milk, eggs and fruit which led to her giving birth to such a large child.

Doctors in Shanghai said the mum spent lots of time in bed during her pregnancy, Sky News reported. They also said she ate more than usual, causing her to gain weight quickly.

Speaking to Chinese state TV, the mum said, "I drink one glass of milk (and) eat an egg every day. That's a must since I became pregnant. I also ate a lot of fruit."

Although the baby is much bigger than average, it is not the biggest ever born in China.

Chun Chun, from Xinxiang city, weighed a massive 7.02kg when born in 2012.

The heaviest baby ever born weighed in at 10.8kg in Ohio, as recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records, but died soon after birth.

중국에서 6kg이 넘는 초우량아가 태어났다고 24일 영국 매체 미러가 전했다. 중국 상하이 지역에서 체중 13파운드10온스(약 6.1kg) 우량아가 태어났다는 것. 이는 중국 신생아 평균 체중의 두배에 달하는 체중이다. 산모(27)는 매일 우유, 달걀, 과일 등을 챙겨먹었다고 말했다. 의료진은 임신 중 산모가 평소보다 많이 먹으면서 침대에서 많은 시간을 보내 체중이 급속히 늘었다고 말했다. 중국 최고 우량아는 지난해 중국 허난성 신샹시에서 태어난 천천(약 7.02kg)이며, 세계 최고 우량아 기네스 기록은 미국 오하이오주에서 태어났다가 곧 세상을 떠난 10.8kg 아기로 알려졌다.
