Chahat Kumar: Giant 8-Month-Old Baby That Weighs 38LBS
A giant 8-month-old baby that weighs 38lbs has left doctors baffled. It’s understood that Chahat Kumar from Punjab, India was born an average weight but started getting bigger rapidly at the age of four months. The baby now weighs 2.7 stones which is the size of a four-year-old. She is also reported to have an insatiable appetite eating four times the amount of food a normal-sized child her age. This has left her parents worried.
According to her dad Suraj Kumar, 23, ““When Chahat was born, she was completely normal. Then, slowly we saw that her weight was shooting up.
“Her weight is increasing day by day.”
Chahat’s mother Reena, 21, explained: “Before Chahat, we had a son who died, and then Chahat was born. Now, we have a single child only and I don’t want to lose her. I am concerned about her health.”
“She doesn’t eat like a normal kid. She keeps eating all the time. If we don’t give her anything to eat, she starts crying.
“She cries to go out but her weight is too much and we are not able to pick her up. So we only take her to nearby places.”
Her parents have also denied that their daughter’s size has anything to do with her upbringing. Her dad said:
“It’s not our fault. God gave this condition to her. It’s not in our hands. I feel bad when some people laugh at her for being fat.”
Chahat Kumar is now experiencing problems with both her breathing and sleeping. She also suffers from abnormally hard skin which has made taking blood samples to analyze her condition more difficult.
Reena explained: “We don’t have enough money for her treatment but we do our best to make sure she gets well. But the problem is with her skin. Her skin is so hard that doctors have failed to take a sample from her body.”
The Kumar’s doctor, Vasudev Sharma confirmed that the difficulty with taking blood samples has made a medical diagnosis very difficult.He said:
“This is the first case I’ve seen in my life where a child’s weight has been shooting up so much four to five months after birth.”
“But the blood test couldn’t be carried out because the fat on the baby’s body was too much, and because of that, the blood test wasn’t done properly.
“We have tried it many times. Her skin is so hard that we can’t ever diagnose her condition.”
