A California family is celebrating the delivery of a very big bundle of joy this Christmas.

Richard Sault weighed 14 pounds 2 ounces - that is 6.4kg - when he was born two days before Christmas.

You will be relieved to hear he was delivered by caesarean section. Even so, it took two doctors to lift him out.

According to the Guinness Book of Records, the biggest baby ever born arrived in Canada in 1879. He weighed almost 11kg.
