A Chinese baby has become so chubby he now weighs the same as a six-year-old child.
Ten-month-old Lei Lei has been nicknamed the ‘Michelin Baby’ after tipping the scales at a whopping 20kg (3.1 stones).
According to his mother, Cheng Qingyu, her son was a normal weight at birth, but thanks to his ravenous appetite he has steadily ballooned since.

Chubby chops: Lei Lei weighs 20lbs but can just about be lifted up by his mother Cheng Qingyu

Hungry: Lei Lei, who was a normal weight at birth, loves to eat


She said: ‘No matter whatever he grabs, he unconsciously puts it in his mouth.
‘His most favourite thing is to eat.’
Lei Lei is currently in hospital in Yiyang, southern China’s Hunan province, where he is undergoing tests to see if there is a medical reason behind his weight gain.

All smiles: Lei Lei is currrently being observed in hospital to see if there is a medical explanation for his size
Despite his mammoth size, the portly youngster is not the largest baby in the world.
That accolade goes to Karan Singh, of Meerut, in India, who weighed an astonishing 3 stone 7lbs at the same age.

He's a grower: The portly youngster plays contentedly in his cot

I watched it yesterday and I wonder how she carrys him. I mean how do you rock a child like that to sleep.

Aloy+Emeka:

Give him amala, apu,eyan or even hamburger and watch him doze off for straight 12 hours.

This kid can't even sleep on the mum's chest to sleep, he will crush her to death

Aloy+Emeka:

baby na baby. Better have a sumo baby than none.

0hsisi:

a baby that may end up diabetic at one year old or with a massive heart attack
If he continues at that rate,he may not live beyond 10 years old

Aloy+Emeka:

Life is from God o. Even if he will end up diabetic, it is still better than having none.

Siena:

We'll have to agree to disagree on this.

It's criminal for a mother to over feed her child, to the point it becomes an acute health risk, which could kill him.

skyndyp:

The mum should stop feeding him anytime he wants to eat. Though i love chubby babies this one is too much abeg
