The daily Moskovsky Komsomolets quoted the local social services chief, Marina Alistratova, as saying the family had modest means. She said Khalina's husband was on contract with a local military unit.
"We have presented them with a good washing machine, a food package and a card," Alistratova told the newspaper. "We will keep supporting them in the future."
An average weight for newborn babies is around 7 pounds, 1 ounce, according to international statistics.
All the giant Russian baby’s brothers and sisters also arrived in near-giant baby sizes of more than eleven pounds each, but nowhere near a 17lbs baby like not-so-little Nadezdha. She was 17 pounds, one ounce at birth and is reportedly a big eater already...Oh did I mention this was her 12th child? That's right...TWELVE KIDS!!!
The Guinness Book of World Records says the heaviest baby ever was born in the United States in 1879. It weighed 23 pounds, 12 ounces and died 11 hours after birth. Guinness says they heaviest surviving baby was born in 1955 in Italy, weighing in at 22 pounds, 8 ounces.
Mrs. Who...do not plan a trip to russia or drink imported water from there! Just saying...

The parents must have some interesting DNA...
no more vodka for me. ever. shudder.
That just makes me hurt thinking about it. My son was almost 9 pounds and that was big enough thank you.
My daughter was 10 pounds 9 ounces. Natural childbirth.
I'd need a jug of vodka to do that again.
