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.
