Our VERY big bundle of joy ... ‘sumo’ baby weighs 12lb 9oz

THEIR first two babies weighed in above average, so Emma and Daniel Millar knew their third would be on the large side.

But even they were shocked when Remi arrived at 12lb 9oz – nearly twice the 7lb 4oz average.

‘She’s like a mini sumo wrestler,’ said Mrs Millar, 27, who had an emergency caesarean when her waters broke two weeks early. ‘I did expect to have a larger baby but not this big.’

Mrs Millar has gestational diabetes and a scan at 35 weeks showed Remi at 8lb 8oz but she was expected to stop growing.

It meant when the Millars took her home in Wollongong, Australia, just one of her outfits fitted. ‘We’ve had to put her in outfits for three to six-month-olds,’ said Mrs Millar.
