“his crying is not like a usual baby,” the doctor said. “It’s really loud.”
That is the reaction of the North Sumatra public hospital doctor when asked about the birth of the 19.2 pound baby (8.7-kilogram) in Indonesia almost a week ago. The cesarean delivered baby is considered to be the largest baby ever born in the country not just from a weight perspective but also he is as tall as 24.4 inches (62 centimetres).
The healthy baby boy was named Muhammad Akbar, where Akbar literary means big. The doctor added that the boy “got strong appetite, every minute, it’s almost non-stop feeding,†he said.
