While amazed and proud of his heavyweight son, father Cesar Hernandez admitted he is worried about how to sustain his newborn's needs, specially since he has been unemployed for some time now.

"We are very happy yet very concerned," he earlier told the Norte de Juarez newspaper. "How are we going to provide to all our children? We have no jobs and are at the mercy of the public good and their support. We certainly would appreciate that."

Local authorities responded by sending the parents with powdered milk, diapers, clothing and baby bottles. They likewise offered the infant's father a job.

"We liked the help a lot. We are very thankful for it because, yes, we're a little in need," Mr Hernandez told Efe.

"The doctors told us that we'd have to be careful because (the baby) has to be fed every two hours so that his (blood) sugar doesn't go down," he added.

Dilan is just one of the many reported heavyweight births since man began keeping databases of such.
