Fun Facts about Both Babies and Elderly

Sure, you have already heard some good fun facts about both babies and elderly separately. But the question is, have you ever seen a mixture of both baby and elderly facts existing together in perfect harmony?  I will answer that question for you – no you haven’t.

Not until now you haven’t.

·         The smallest baby ever to survive is named Rumaisa Rahman, who weighed 8.6 ounces on September 19, 2004 when she was born. Rumaisa is currently a thriving young kid at 8 years old.

·         The oldest person in the recorded history of the world was Jeanne Calment, who was born in 1875 and died in 1997 – living to be 122 years and 164 days old.

·         The largest baby ever weighed 23 pounds and 12 ounces at birth, but unfortunately passed away 11 hours after he was born.

·         The oldest woman (and person) living is Besse Cooper, who was born in 1896 and is currently 116 years old.

·         The heaviest baby ever to survive weighed 22 pounds and 8 ounces, and was born in Italy in 1955.

·         The oldest man living is Jiroemon Kimura, born in 1897 and who is currently 115 years old.

·         The most babies given birth to at once is 9 (nontuplets) – but sadly none of the babies survived more than one day.

·         The tallest elderly person currently living measures 7 foot 1 inch, and resides in Thailand at age 86.

·         There have been multiple instances of all eight octuplet babies surviving and turning into somewhat healthy adults.

Do you guys have any fun baby/elderly facts that I should know about? How many babies would you have at once? Do you think it would be painful?

Thank you so much for these scintillating facts. I would very much appreciate some of the classic Izzy Parizeau baby facts -- such as how much did you weigh as a baby? Or other such facts... maybe what is the most interesting baby name you have ever heard? Maybe how old was the oldest elderly person you have ever met? Thanks so much and I look forward to reading future posts about Babies and the Elderly.
