A baby boy born weighing 7.25kg may be the biggest child ever born in the US state of Texas.
JaMichael Brown was born via Caesarean section at Good Shepherd Medical Centre in the city of Longview on Friday (local time), 1.8kg heavier than doctors predicted.
Authorities believe JaMichael is the biggest baby born in the state, but it will take several days of searching through state records to confirm it, the Longview News Journal reports.
JaMichael's mother Janet Johnson said she and her husband Michael Brown were "amazed" at their son's size.
"I can't believe he's that big," she told the News Journal.
"A lot of baby clothes we bought for him will have to be returned — they're already too small for him to wear."
JaMichael was born with a full head of hair, and the hospital's nursery had no nappies big enough to fit him.
He has also been given a nickname.
"They call him 'the Moose' up here," father Michael said.
As his mother had gestational diabetes during her pregnancy, JaMichael has been spending the first few days of his life in the hospital's Neonatal Intensive Care unit his blood sugar levels can been regulated, but apart from that he is a healthy baby boy.
