Mrs
Amaf had previously given birth to relatively small babies with Azeel,
now eight, only 4lb 12oz and brother Sami, five, less than a third of
his brother's weight at just 3lb 8oz.
According to Daily Mail, the most recent figures from the Office for National Statistics, of the
33,747 babies born in Wales in 2013, a total of 71 weighed more than
11lb.
The
biggest baby born naturally in Britain was George King, who was
delivered at the Gloucester Royal Infirmary in February 2013, weighing
15lb 7oz, records show.
According to Daily Mail Uk, the largest ever born in Britain was born at the Liverpool Women's Hospital last year, tipping the scales at 15lb 10oz.
Mrs Amaf, 36, spent three days in hospital before returning to the family's home in Roath.

'We
were worried about the birth, but the midwives were very caring and
talked us through everything so we knew what to expect,' she said.
'It was amazing to bring him home - his brothers were so excited to meet him.
'He looks exactly like Azeel when he was a baby.
'They just want to play with him all the time. It's easy to forget he's only two-weeks-old because he's so big.'
