A Russian woman has given local carpenters the chance to surpass themselves in fashioning a cot.
Tatyana Barabanova, from the Altai region of Siberia, has given birth to a massive baby, weighing 7.75kg (17.5 lbs), more than twice than the average weight for a newborn.
Nadia was delivered by Caesarean section - unsurprisingly - and joins an already-sizeable brood of eight sisters and three brothers.
Ms Barabanova has a habit of giving birth to bulky babies, with all of her children having weighed over 5kg (11lb) at birth, a local reporter told Reuters.
After the birth, Ms Barabanova said: "We were all simply in shock. What did the father say? He couldn't say a thing - he just stood there blinking."
Her diet may have had something to do with the hefty child, it has emerged.
"I ate everything, we don't have the money for special foods so I just ate potatoes, noodles and tomatoes," reports quoted Ms Barabanova as saying.
Nadia is not the heaviest baby ever recorded, however - a 10.2kg (22.5lb) boy was born in Italy in 1955, while a 10.8kg (23.8lb) boy was born in the US in 1879, though he died 11 hours later, according to the BBC.
