UK’s heaviest baby girl weighs 12 pounds
February 17th, 2012 - 8:53 pm ICT by Aishwarya BhattLondon, Feb 17 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Weighing more than 12 pounds at birth, Suzie Gzowski has officially become the heaviest baby ever born in the United Kingdom. Incredibly, the baby was born with two teeth already grown in the mouth.
At just the age of three weeks, little Suzie is already wearing dresses meant for six-month-old children. Her mother, Gemma Tevendale did not need caesarian section to deliver the baby. In fact the 26-year-old delivered the baby in just 44 minutes and no stitches were required after the birth.
Gemma is blaming her strong appetite for fish during her pregnancy for the weight of her baby. During an interview with the British media, Gemma said that, “I do like my fish four times a week. I hadn’t gone overboard with it, although I probably had more than I should — usually tuna and smoked salmon. They’d said she was going to be big, between 10 to 11 pounds. But when they saw she was 12lbs 12oz they thought the scales had broken.”
Gemma introduced the bottle to Suzie early because she has huge appetite which only breastfeeding cannot take care of. Her other children – six-year-old Vincent and four-year-old Violet – were all born weighing at least 10 pounds.
The heaviest baby ever born without caesarian section in the world weighed 22 pounds. The child was born in 1955 in Italy.
