An Indian woman has given birth to a 15lb (6.8kg) baby girl that doctors say could possibly be the heaviest child ever born in the country.The infant weighs the same as a six-month-old in a country where new-born babies normally weigh 2.5-3.5kg.Her mother Na
ndini, 20, gave birth by a Caesarean section, at a hospital in the southern state of Karnataka.Doctors said they were conducting tests to find out the reason why the baby was so heavy."It is the biggest baby in India, I can say. Whether it is the biggest in the world, I cannot say right now," Dr Venkatesh R, district health official in Hassan district, told BBC Hindi's Imran Qureshi.The baby is not just heavy, she is also very tall, doctors said."The baby's height is 62cm (24.4in) as against the normal Indian baby's height of 50cm," said Dr SR Kumar, who is looking after Nandini and her baby.
