Xiao Lei Chinese Fat Baby: 10-month-old Michelin Obese Baby Weighs 44 Pounds – A 10-month-old baby in China has recently made headlines for his weight. Although he is still a baby, he weighs as much as an average six-year-old. That’s right—Xiao Lei weighs 44 pounds.
However, according to his mother, he doesn’t have an extraordinary diet. She simply feeds him breast milk, and he has continued to pack on the pounds. He weighed 7.7 pounds at birth, which is a fairly average birth weight. However, afterwards, his mother says that he has continued to pile on the weight.
His mother has told Sky News that she has never given him any formula, and that he is on a strict breast milk diet. Interestingly enough, formula has recently been linked to young boys and girls in China growing breasts.
Although doctors say he is a healthy baby, they would still like to see him lose some weight, just to ensure that he has a healthy heart and body. However, he is not the only Chinese baby to have been reported to tip the scales.
For now, Xiao Lei seems content enough with his diet, and with his recently earned nickname of the “Michelin Baby”.
