The world’s heaviest baby was born in 1879 to

Giantess Anna Bates. He weighed 22lb (9.98kg)
and measured 28in (71.12cm). Unfortunately, he
died after 11 hours.

The world’s smallest baby! In December 2018, an infant born in San Diego,
California, weighed just 8.6 ounces at birth. She was kept in the NICU for
about five months and gained up to 5.6 pounds. She is now healthy.

know that one in 2000 infants are born with teeth? These are
termed as natal teeth. Nonetheless, doctors might remove them as
