Mexico marvels at super-sized baby

As the picture clearly shows, Antonio Vasconcelos - he's the one at the back - is no ordinary new-born baby.



Dubbed "Super Tonio", he startled staff at the Jesus Kumate Rodriguez hospital in Cancun, Mexico, not to mention his mother, by arriving via caesarean section on Monday weighing a whopping 6.6kg (14lb 8oz), roughly twice the average weight for a newborn baby.

Crowds have gathered at the windows of the hospital's nursery ward to marvel at Antonio, who is already 56cm (22in) long and drinks prodigious amounts of milk.

Antonio's parents, 23-year-old Teresa Alejandra Cruz and Luis Vasconcelos, 38, are remarkably unfazed, noting that their daughter had weighed a not-insignificant 5.2kg at birth.
