Giant Baby Born In Milwaukee
(CBS) MILWAUKEE - Her father calls her the 'Big Enchilada' and for good reason. Dalaney Jessica Buzzell is a big baby.
When she was born in Milwaukee last Thursday by cesarean section, Dalaney weighed 13 pounds, 12 ounces. She was also 22 inches long.
Her mother, Robin, said the final weeks were uncomfortable and she was relieved that Dalaney came three weeks early. Robin's condition also concerned her husband, Paul, who saw her pain. The delivery was a bit difficult as well.
"Laney" is the latest big baby in the family. Sisters Cameron and Alexis were 11 pounds, 14 ounces and 10 pounds, 8 ounces when they were born.
ORBIN, Ky. (AP) - A baby girl weighing a whopping 14 pounds, 3 ounces was born in Kentucky, a hospital official said. The baby was born Tuesday by Caesarean section and appeared healthy, said Susan Whittymore, a nursing supervisor at Baptist Regional Medical Center.
According to the National Center for Health Statistics, less than 1 percent of babies weigh more than 11 pounds at birth.
The child went home Friday, Whittymore said. No other details were available.
Last month, a 13-pound, 12-ounce girl was born in Wisconsin to Paul and Robin Buzzell. They dubbed their newborn the "Big Enchilada."
