Canadian Couple's Newborn Breaks Hospital Record with 14-Pound Birth Weight

14-pound newborn, Sonny, becomes the heaviest baby born at Cambridge Memorial Hospital in Ontario since 2010, joining four siblings who also had above-average birth weights.

  • Britteney Ayres, a Canadian woman, gave birth to her fifth child, a baby boy named Sonny who weighed a record-breaking 14 pounds and 8 ounces at Cambridge Memorial Hospital in Ontario.
  • Sonny, who was delivered via cesarean section, is more than double the size of an average newborn and is the heaviest baby delivered at the hospital since 2010.
  • The Ayres couple and their large newborn attracted media attention, leading to their appearance on Good Morning America where they shared their surprise and joy.
  • Adding to the family of already large babies, Sonny joins four siblings who also had above-average birth weights; the oldest Marigold and Lucky each weighed over 13 pounds at birth.
  • The family's doctor, Dr. Asa Ahimbisibwe, had previously delivered the older siblings and had anticipated a larger baby, but not as large as Sonny turned out to be.
