An adorable newborn has become a viral sensation, after tipping the scales at more than 12 pounds, or almost six kilos.

Baby Cassian was born weighing twice as much as the average newborn, with his mum Shelby Martin, taking to social media to show off her gorgeous newborn. Her video now has almost forty million views.

Cassian, who was born at TriStar Centennial Medical Centre in the US, is the hospital’s largest newborn in the past three years.

The adorable baby was born on his mum’s birthday – helping to heal Shelby’s heartbreak who experienced ‘unimaginable loss’ on her birthday last year.

Shelby’s videos have been flooded with comments, many asking if she’s ok, while others have questioned if baby Cassian is real. Which prompted the new mum to share a video of her little man just after he was born.

When it comes to the largest baby ever born, Anna Bates still holds the record. The giantess gave birth to 13 children, the largest weighing 16 pounds.

  • Cassian is gorgeous, and I hope all is going well for all the family. Baby Cassian and his lovely Mum will have special birthdays to share every year. They will have such a special bond. That’s lovely. I wish them all the very best for a bright future. Well done.

  • With my second pregnancy i blew up like a balloon and everyone kept say that the bub must be big. That scared me but it turned out they were all wrong and I actually had excess amniotic fluid. My waters broke one day and the fluid just kept coming. Bub was born and average weight 7lb 6oz

  • This is one cute bubba and mama os lucku to get such a special gift for her birthday. Though i imagine it would have been so hard for her in the last trimester! Hope she is recovering well and the cute baby is healthy and happy! So glad it went well for mum on this birthday

  • Wow what a journey to carry and birth a chubby bubby. I hope mama is healthy and recovering well. She is probably dealing with a lot of media attention- positive and negative. A double birthday celebration that she is so blessed with every year. What a beautiful gift from God.

  • I can’t even imagine a baby that big! I wonder if it was a natural birth? Poor thing must have felt like she was carrying twins, but she was absolutely glowing! I’m surprised the doctors allowed her to carry to full term when they could see he was so large. I love the name too!

  • It is always a double and special celebration to have a baby born on a birthday. It honestly is the best present any mum can have to give birth to a baby on a birthday. It is always so special for family members to share a birthday together and to celebrate.

  • The birth of a precious child is such is such an exciting time for a family and the size of this new baby is indeed interesting and promotes much discussion. I know of other mums that had big babies and the experience is similar regardless of the size of the baby.

  • Wow that is a big bubba, this mum must be exhausted after giving birth and going through pregnancy as i am sure bubs was quite heavy to carry especially in the last few months. It is sad that there are people out there who would think this little bub isn’t really and for the mum to feel she needed to post a photo of her baby to prove herself is sad.

  • One of mine was 4.5 kg, and everyone thought that was a lot! I find 6kg hard to imagine. Still, there’s no reason he couldn’t be healthy – although I bet it was hard on Mum, both in pregnancy and birth – and when it comes down to it, that’s all that matters.

  • She is adorable and I m surprised that both will be celebrating together. Actually that’s a blessing. Apart from the baby’s weight I feel the matter is healthy baby. If she is healthy that is more than enough. Welcome to the world with a record. It is a blessing with beauty

  • Oh my goodness, that’s massive !! I wonder if this is even healthy ? But what a joy that this baby Cassian was born on his mother Shelby’s birthday ; the fact that his arrival helps her to heal after her heartbreak and loss on her birthday last year is just wonderful !

  • Holy Moly!! You go Mumma! That is one biggin baby. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a cute chunky little head like that. What a beautiful coincidence that he’s born on her birthday, and an anniversary of heartbreak. Wishing this little family all the best, and that Mumma a nice relaxing time to recover!
