Baby Brooke Telling helped raise money for the maternity unit at Colchester General Hospital - just by being born.
Regulars at the King's Arms in Crouch Street, Colchester, where her dad, David, is the landlord, entered a sweepstake to guess her weight when she was born.
And although she was born two weeks late on January 25, she weighed in at 7lb 14oz.
Her mum, Susan, said: "Brooke is our first baby. I drew the ticket which corresponded with her weight. The draw raised £48 and we matched it and we are donating £100 to the maternity unit."
