What 4.5 kg means

A weight of 4.5 kg is about 9 lb 15 oz, just under 10 lb. This is the second macrosomia threshold: babies at or above 4.5 kg are notably large, and only a small percentage of births reach this weight. It is well above the roughly 3.3 kg average and usually noted specifically in the birth record.
