I bet that on your birthday, you feel kind of special. Well, give it up:

Each day there are approximately 380,000 babies born worldwide.

That means…

There are 4 babies born each second of every day.

Meaning …

10-12 babies were born while you read these words

Don’t be a big baby…

I’ve personally always been very kind to my mom; I was 24 inches long and weighed 11lbs 4oz at birth. I figure I owe her one. But how big was the biggest baby ever?

The heaviest baby ever to be born AND survive weighed 22 pounds, 8 ounces, and was born in Italy in 1955

The jury’s still out on whether I’ve “survived”.
