He is still an idiot, but 20lb babies are a possibility
1846 - Heaviest birth and longest baby
There are many stories about babies who weighed 14 lb at birth - but what about a whopping 22 lb?
That was the weight of a child born to Giantess Anna Bates (née Swan) (Canada, b. 6 August 1846; d. 5 August 1888).
Giantess Anna Bates, as her name may suggest, was a rather tall woman - 241.3 cm (7 ft 11 in) tall to be exact.
Her husband, Martin Van Buren Bates, was born on 9 November 1837 and was reported to reach 7 ft 11 in, although was probably more likely 7 ft 9 in.
She gave birth to a boy weighing 9.98 kg (22 lb) and measuring 71.12 cm (28 in) at her home in Seville, Ohio, USA, on 19 January 1879, breaking the record for both heaviest birth and longest baby.
The baby, who was not officially named but just referred to as “Babe”, sadly died just 11 hours later.

Babies do start growing after they are born too so there’s also that. My baby got shots when we was >20 pounds and was average weight…
Yea, caused by gestational diabetes. It’s probably why that baby died 11 hours later.
Outliers aren’t evidence
Canadians are well known liars even if they are polite while doing so.
