Grow up and stop being such a BIG BABY!!!

Doctors have recently delivered an indonesian baby that had a national record breaking weight of 19.2 lbs (8.7kg) and the delivery took only 40 minutes, meanwhile he is healthy and looks cute like all babies should. The reason why the baby was born so fat was because the diabetic mother was having a large glucose intake during pregnancy. One bad thing is that the baby is breastfeeding almost nonstop. This almost beats the world record "American" born baby with an flabbergasting mass of 23.75 lbs, but then it died shortly after birth (11 hours).

Personally, I think that if mothers keep eating lots of sweets and chocolate and junkfood and have fat babies, and the FEMALE babies follow that chain. The average weight of newborns I"m guessing maybe 100 years for now (remeber, this is just a guess) would probably be 20 pounds, I really don't know. But pregnant mothers should be fit and limiting the amount of glucose and fat intake during birth to avoid having babies that will breastfeed non-stop and become even fatter when they get older because they can't control their eating habits. And even worse, pregnant mothers should be healthy so that their heavy babies don't die like the U.S. born one.
