An eight-month-old baby boy in Jilin, Northeast China has tipped the scales at over three stone.



Weighing 18.8 kg (41 pounds) and measuring 78 centimeters in height, he was born with a normal birth weight of 3.3 kg (7 pounds 4 oz).

The eight-month-old baby starting putting on extra weight when he was one month old

However, he starting putting on extra weight when he was one month old, according to his parents.

His mother nurses him more than 20 times a day because he often feels hungry. Because of his obesity, he is unable to crawl or stand.

I thought the number one maternal instinct was "nurturing"; apparently these mothers think it's "overfeeding".

All I know is that cannot be good for an infant's heart.

Oh there is some psychological issues going on with a lot of these moms. They cry and feel sad when the child is hungry. But basically they are shortening their kid's life by continuing to feed them too much. It's time to put baby on a diet when you can't pick him up. And the ones who feed their 1 year olds McD's and other garbage are the ones who should be locked up

I don't think this is the mom's fault. I think its a genetic problem. How the doctors address this is another matter. Very sad.

Genetics? C'mon. Do you see many obese children in third world countries?
It's feeding the kids too much food, pure and simple.

she's feeding the kid 20 times a day

 

[Bravo]

A breast-fed child will put on weight really fast, but feeding him 20 times a day is ridiculous!

I saw this on another website and I was baffled... It's crazy! His poor little organs must be working some triple time!
