The child was reportedly born in great health. The doctors say he measures 58 cm tall, almost twice the length of an average newborn.

MrWang and his wife had allegedly been informed that their baby could be bigger than usual. They were surprised to learn that he weighed 6.7 Kilograms.
The parents have been advised to monitor the child’s diet and watch his weight closely to avoid diseases such as high blood pressure and high blood cholesterol.
“Most Chinese families prefer to have bigger babies, so they over-feed expectant mothers. The problem with this tradition is that excess nutrients can lead to illnesses in the baby .It also increases chances of difficulties during labour,” says Dr Liu.
In China, a baby is ‘overweight’ if he or she weighs over 4 Kilograms. According to the country's Ministry of Health, a normal newborn is expected to weigh somewhere around 3.3 Kg on average.
