More than 700 babies in Birmingham weighed at least four kilograms at birth - the same as 8.8 pounds.
New figures from NHS Digital reveal at least 13,585 “finished delivery episodes” were recorded across the city in 2017/18.
A finished delivery episode is where at least one baby is born - so twins or triplets may be excluded from the figures.
Babies’ birth weights are still measured in metrics. The average weight of a baby girl is 3.3kg and the average weight of a baby boy is 3.4kg.
The figures show that 770 babies born in Birmingham weighed more than 4kg - roughly the same as 8.8 pounds.
It means one in every 18 babies born across the city weighed 8.8 pounds or more.
There were 2,405 babies who weighed between 3.5kg and 3.9kg - or between 7.7 and 8.8 pounds.
A further 3,450 babies between the weight of 3.0kg and 3.4kg were also delivered in 2017/18.

There were 2,600 babies who weighed less than 3.0kg - the equivalent of 6.6 pounds.
The remaining 1,055 babies born across Birmingham did not have a weight recorded.
Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust had the highest rate of babies born weighing 8.8 pounds or more - at one in every 11.
The rate was one in every 29 in Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust.
Figures were not available for Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust or University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Trust.
Across all hospitals in England there were 626,203 finished delivery episodes in 2017/18.
Some 59,678 babies were born weighing 8.8 pounds or more - a rate of one in every 10.
NHS digital has rounded the figures in individual hospitals to the nearest five.
