Montague, Sarah Dines’s firstborn, is her first child. A mother gives birth to a baby weighing 11 pounds. Now 11 months old, she weighs 28 pounds 6 ounces. This makes him the average size of a three-month-old infant when he was born as a newborn.
When she was pregnant, doctors anticipated that Monty would weigh around 8 pounds. She desired a water delivery, but Monty was 10 days late, so the doctor began discussing a scheduled cesarean section that was safe for mother and child. Sarah ultimately required hospitalization for an emergency -s. Monty was born at the hospital at his greatest size.
When ‘Monty’ was born, he was immediately placed in toddler clothing and currently wears two- to three-year-old clothing.
Sarah, a teacher, originally desired a water delivery at her house in Broadstone, Dorset, without relief, but ultimately had a caesarean section owing in part to the size of the child. He was so large when he was born that he resembled a dinosaur.
“When the doctors brought him out, everyone was laughing, and I had no idea why. One of them said that he was ready for school, but the little towel they wrapped him in was too small. He was in the 99.9th and 99.6th percentiles for height and weight, respectively.
None of the clothes Sarah brought in for Monty fit when he was first born. Even the little cap nurs gave him at the hospital was too small. As he’s grow up he’s gone up and up in sizes, he’s always been in bigger clothes than his age.
None of Sarah’s doctors can account for why Monty was born so big.
Sarah said: “After he was born we were both tested for ɢᴇsᴛᴀᴛɪᴏɴᴀʟ ᴅɪᴀʙᴇᴛᴇs loads of times, but it was never positive. I’m 5 foot 9, and my husband Elliott, 41, is six foot, so we were never going to have a small baby.
