A member asked:

What causes a baby to weigh 9 pounds when born?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Usually normal...: A full-term baby weighing 9 pounds has a normal weight unless there is some other problem going on. Although 9 pounds is a big baby, it is still inside the normal range of weights for newborns.
