This baby set a new hospital record—’When they put Sonny on the scale, there was a drumroll’

Newborn diapers are super cute (they fit in the palm of your hand!) but imagine being able to skip that step—no newborn onesies or diapers—and moving straight to diapers and clothes that fit a six month old baby.

That’s exactly what happened to a couple out of Ontario, Canada. Britteney and Chance Ayres tell Today that they were expecting a big baby but they were still surprised when Sonny made his entrance into the world.

“When they put Sonny on the scale, there was a drumroll and all the doctors and nurses were throwing out guesses about what the number would be,” Chance says.

Sonny was born October 23 at Cambridge Memorial Hospital and via c-section. At 14 pounds and 8 ounces, he’s double the size of an average newborn. Dr. Asa Ahimbisibwe confirmed that he is the biggest baby on record since they started tracking measurements in 2010.

“After they read his weight, everybody was cheering like the league had won the Stanley Cup,” Chance says.

The Ayres are already parents to Chance, 6, Everett, 5, Lucky, 3, and Marigold, 18 months. The couple shared that their other children were also above average—Lucky and Marigold both weighed more than 13 pounds, Chance was 10 pounds and Everett was their smallest at 9 pounds.

Sonny fit right into six month clothing they added, “We’ve never needed newborn diapers.”

Britteney reports that she’s never had gestational diabetes with any of her pregnancies. One side effect of gestational diabetes is a larger than average fetus.

“I do not miss being pregnant,” the mother of five says. “Everywhere I went I got questions like, ‘How many are in there?’ And I’d have to explain that it wasn’t multiples, it was just one very large baby.”

Chance also described the moment when Sonny surprised a nurse with his healthy appetite. “She handed me two bottles and was like, ‘He might not finish the second one, but give it a try.”

“Well, Sonny took those bottles down like it was his job,” Chance says, “He crushed it and then he passed out. When the nurse came back she couldn’t believe it. She said a typical baby will drink about 20 millimeters and he took 90!”
