The infant was born by caesarean section at the Chongji Maternity Hospital in Yucheng city, Shanxi province, on August 23.
He was the second child of a 34-year-old woman surnamed Tian, the South China Morning Post reports.
Hospital staff said they were shocked at the boy’s size.
“It’s the first time I’ve delivered such a huge baby in my 30-year career,” Chongji Maternity’s director was quoted by Tencent News as saying.
According to the Guinness World Records, the heaviest baby in the world was a 10.8kg boy born to Canadian Anna Bates in the US state of Ohio on January 19, 1879. The boy died 11 hours later.
