NORWICH, Conn. —Oh baby! Marie Michel’s fifth child was one for the record books. Michel gave birth to a 14-pound, 13-ounce boy Tuesday at William W. Backus Hospital.
Backus officials said the newborn — Stephon Hendrix Louis-Jean — broke the 18-year record for the biggest baby ever born at the hospital by 1 pound, 13 ounces. He was nearly 23 inches long.
“He’s built like a linebacker,” said Dr. David Kalla, who delivered the baby by Caesarean section.
After nine months of carrying Stephon, 36-year-old Michel said she was more tired and happy to have given birth than all the attention her baby was receiving.
“I was miserable,” Michel said. “I couldn’t sleep at night. My 13-year-old son had to help me get in and out bed.”
The baby’s size came as no surprise to his mom. Michel’s oldest son weighed 9 pounds at birth, her 8-year-old twin sons each weighed 8 1/2 pounds and her youngest son, age 3, was nearly 12 pounds.
Michel’s husband, Vijens Louis-Jean, a truck driver, was coming from Florida to see his son.
Less than 24 hours old, the baby was fitting into clothes for a 6-month-old and was too big for newborn diapers.
“I have baby clothes but I don’t think they will be able to fit,” Michel said. “I think I will have to return them.”

You are so right Chrissy,
the poor baby needs
to get that weight under
control before something
bad happens.
You are stating the truth.

My youngest(of 3) brothers weighed in at 10 lb. 2 oz.but he didn’t look pudgy at all. He’s 52 now and is 6′ 5″ weighs 220lbs. I weighed in at 9 lbs 12 oz. and am now 6’3″ 180lbs. at 68. I feel that these babies will trim down naturally and do just fine.

The reason these babies are so big is that many of the mothers had diabetes while pregnant. That means that the extra sugar the mother took in went to her baby during the pregnancy causing the baby to be large. It is not the babies fault. The mother should have watched what she ate during her pregnancy.
