The world's tallest person, Bao Xishun, a 2.36-meter man in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, became a father last week after his wife gave birth to a boy.
Bao's wife, 29-year-old Xia Shujuan, produced the child via Caesarean section early last Thursday at Zunhua Hospital in Hebei Province, which neighbors Inner Mongolia.
The baby weighed 4.2 kg and was 56 cm long. Doctors said he was slightly taller than most newborns, who are usually 47 cm to 52 cmat birth.
On Thursday, Xia was discharged from hospital after a week's recovery. They moved to their residence in Zunhua City.
The 57-year-old Bao told Xinhua on the phone he was very happy that both his wife and son were well. The former herder said he named the boy "Tian You" and hoped he could grow up with a sound body and happy life.
The couple were married in July last year.
