Paediatrician Dr Bhupendra Avasthi of Surya Hospital in suburban Santacruz said that both mother and the baby were doing fine and were accompanied by Collin Dick, Hayden's husband.
Normally the average weight and length of a new born in India is 2.6 kgs and 48 cms, but Hayden's daughter weighed 3.7 kgs and was 55 cms at the time of birth, Avasthi said.
Arya Hayden's birth on January 9 through the egg freezing method just may pave the way for women who are willing to go for motherhood in their late 30s or early 40s, the doctors said.
"It was a concept being adopted very rarely by working or professional women who do not want to be mother at the age of 30 or something. But delivering a baby at 42 (years of age) is something amazing and we feel extremely excited," Palshetkar told PTI.
Explaining the technology of egg freezing, Palshetkar said she along with her partner, Dr Hrishikesh Pai brought this technology to India and it is called vitrification technology. Using the technology, they froze 16 eggs of Hayden between October 2007 and March 2008.
