CORBIN, 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."

Now kids are obese as soon as they come out of the womb. Give the kids a break.

If babies are born heavier, it's usually due to gestational Diabetes. Very common in newborns. But this is the first I've heard of a newborn being that heavy.
