Germany has a new holder for the title of “heaviest baby.”

Jasleen was born at University Hospital in Leipzig on July 26, weighing in at 13.47 pounds, and measuring 22.6 inches long — and she was delivered without the help of a C-section, reports the New York Daily News.

The medical term for babies born weighing more than 8 pounds, 13 ounces is “fetal macrosomia,” and heavy babies are often attributed to maternal obesity and diabetes, among other factors. In Jasleen’s case, doctors said her size is due to an undiagnosed case of gestational diabetes, reports the German paper Der Spiegel, which adds that both baby and Mom are doing well, though Jasleen remains in the hospital.

Until Jasleen’s birth last week the title of Germany’s “heaviest” or “largest” baby belonged to one named Jihad, who was born in November 2011 and weighed in at 13 pounds.
