New York mom gives birth to 14-pound baby girl
The newborn spent a short time in the NICU for breathing monitoring after the delivery, and the CDC says babies over 11 pounds are rare.
- On June 9, parents Dorisha Rodriguez and Dominic Soto welcomed Yemaya India Soto Rodriguez, a 14-pound baby girl, at Golisano Children's Hospital in Buffalo, New York, one of the largest newborns the hospital has ever delivered.
- Rodriguez anticipated a large infant after a prenatal scan estimated 13.4 pounds, but the delivery required a C-section when Yemaya arrived hand-first, surprising both parents.
- According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, only one of every 1,000 babies weighs more than 11 pounds, making Yemaya's birth weight exceptionally rare.
- Following her delivery, Yemaya remained healthy but required a brief stay in the neonatal intensive care unit for staff to monitor her breathing.
- The infant already wears size 3-to-6 months clothing and size 2 diapers, prompting Rodriguez to donate newborn-sized gifts to a friend with a premature baby.
