In Babies and more We usually echo news of births in which babies weigh up to twice as much as a normal baby weighs, such as when a girl weighing 6,110 kg was born last summer in Germany or when, in Denia (Alicante), A few days later, a 6,200 kg baby was born.
However, we have rarely talked about babies who then, when they grow up, have a stratospheric weight, as is the case with a 7-month-old baby, born in Colombia, weighing 17 kilos, and that he is admitted to a hospital (and not precisely because of his weight).
He was born big, but not so much
The first thing I thought when I saw it was that it must be one of those babies that were born giants and that had simply followed out the inertia of fattening and growth that I would have carried inside. However, although born bigIt wasn't like to think it would end like this. The boy, named Santiago, was born weighing 4,200 kg and measuring 56 centimeters.
He was born by caesarean section and his mother says that I didn't expect the child to take so much weight so quickly. He is the fifth of his children and with none had lived anything similar. According to her, all she did was give her breast milk and artificial milk when the child asked. "The problem is that it took every so often, then it started to get fat"said his mother.
Admitted to the hospital, but not because of his weight
From the third month onwards, the baby began to gain more and more weight and now he is admitted to a hospital for suffering from a urine infection, not for his weight.
The doctors have diagnosed morbid obesity The baby and mother have been told that they should start controlling their diet. I personally do not know if they have stopped to really analyze if there is any cause for such fattening, because children who eat a lot and at all times there are many and none gets this way. Who knows if there isn't some kind of hormonal problem that is not being studied and that could be the remedy of such obesity.
Anyway, hopefully I am wrong and that the necessary tests have already been performed. Now, if so, if it weighs so much to eat, it is clear that it will be very bad if you control the food, because the baby is huge.
