Overview

• Toni Lincoln delivered son Brayden via C-section on January 14 at Broomfield Hospital when he tipped the scales at a record 12 lbs 9 oz, well above the 8–9 lb prenatal estimate.
• His size required extraction by the hips, resulted in a talipes diagnosis and led to a week of oxygen support in the neonatal intensive care unit.
• Despite a gestational diabetes diagnosis, Toni’s blood sugar levels were better controlled than in her first pregnancy, leaving clinicians puzzled by the extreme macrosomia.
• At six months, Brayden weighs 7.6 kg and has outgrown newborn sizes, now wearing nine-to-12-month clothing and larger nappies.
• Medical teams continue regular developmental assessments while investigating the factors behind his exceptional birth weight.
