Nurses at the Regional Medical Center in Kansas were stunned when a mom delivered a very large baby last Thursday, giving him the nickname of ‘mini sumo wrestler.’
“When they took him out, the nurse said, ‘It’s a mini sumo wrestler.’ I said, ‘Why?’ Then, they showed me him and I was like, ‘That is a sumo wrestler!'” mom Gina Hilton told KAKE.
While Moses William Hilton is not the heaviest newborn on record, he is probably the biggest they’ve ever seen.
Jill White, the nursing director at Hutchinson Medical Center told KAKE, “This little guy is about double what we expect a normal baby to be. Just surprising how different that feels to hold a baby that big, and just to look at a baby with those chubby cheeks, and they’re even chubbier than what you would normally expect on babies.”
According to Hilton, Moses’ birth was not an easy ordeal. He was born 11 days early by cesarean section and suffered from low blood sugar. Fortunately, he has recovered and is a happy and healthy baby.
