The world’s tallest man has become the world’s tallest father.
Bao Xishun, 57, a 2.36m herdsman of Chifeng, Inner Mongolia, China, had his first baby after a year of marriage to 1.66m Xia Shujuan, 29.

Their son weighed 4.09kg at birth and was 55.9cm long, according to doctors at Zunhua Hospital in Hebei province.
Although slightly taller than average for newborn children, Mr Bao's boy came up well short of the 74.93cm record birth length last year, also in China.
"Mr Bao is quite happy. The baby is healthy and a normal size," the hospital's senior doctor Zhang said.
"I hope he or she can be about two metres tall," Mr Bao, 57, said last year about his wishes for a child. "Then he or she can play basketball."
Mr Bao briefly lost his Guinness World Records title as the tallest man to Ukrainian Leonid Stadnyk but regained it in August when Stadnyk refused to be measured under new guidelines.
