A mother whose baby wears clothes designed for three-year-olds has revealed that strangers have been left in shock by his size.
Alexa Priego, 31, from Manhattan, New York, gave birth to baby Kason 11 months ago and claims his size often fools people.
The mother-of three's youngest son was born at a normal weight of 7lb 14oz but became huge after two months of breastfeeding.
Alexa, who works as a hospital administrator, said people often stop her in the street because they're stunned by his size.
Now 11 months old, baby Kason weighs around the same as a two-year-old at 31lbs and fits in clothing for three year olds.
Alexa said: 'He is the heaviest baby in the whole world.
'He's very tall and very chunky - doctors said he is in the 99th percentile for weight and height.
'When people see him they ask his age, and they are shocked when I say 11 months because they expect him to be older.
'People are so amazed by it - but when my daughter was born, she was exactly the same.
'I guess I just make big babies!'
Alexa, who is also mother to Owen, 10, and Gracie, four, claims doctors told her that she overproduces milk which could contribute to Kason's huge size.
After being breastfed for several months, he was moved onto formula and recently Alexa has been doing baby-led weaning.
She said despite what people might think, Kason is a totally healthy baby.
Alexa continued: 'He is the easiest baby to look after - he's so easygoing and always smiles at people.
'He crawls and can walk when he holds onto the side of the couch and tries to stand on everything.
'He is a very active boy. He crawls really fast too - he's very speedy

I have a nephew who was like this when he was very young. He continued to grow upward, but the weight didn’t follow suit. He is in his 30s now, and is 6’4” and about 210.
Mine were all chunky as babies and most are tall and thin now, just like mom and dad.
I don’t think breastmilk would have caused much weight gain in a baby. Looks more like baby has hormonal concerns. Or mom is frequently supplementing with high fructose corn syrup.

Needs to stop before the kid can say: “Mama! Wanna Nurse!”
He has gynomastia. Is she supplementing with soy milk?
Maybe, maybe not. I was FAT-fat-fat before weening. Within a year afterwards, I was slender and have remained that way.
She’s an idiot
It was genetics and common up there.
After the “incident” I referred to the boy as Bam Bam.
The incident was a call one morning with my employee saying he would be late due to searching for a spare set of trucks keys.
His two year old got hold of his set of keys and proceeded to place each key into a groove in the coffee table and snap each one off.
So he's a born Sumo wrestler.
??
Sweet and handsome baby.
I bet he slims down once he’s up and running around.
She definitely gets her work out carrying him!
Andre the Giant
Unless he has some kind of disorder, he should be fine.
I was 9 lbs. at birth and 36 lbs. at a year. I am tall for a woman and have remained thin since I was a toddler.
My firstborn son was also 36 lbs. at a year. He is now 6’2” and weighs 230, built like a linebacker.
Kids that stay hefty after becoming a toddler may have an insulin or adrenal disorder. Otherwise, healthy food and regular playing outside will slim him down quickly.
Kason sounds like a fat name.
Michelin baby.
The kid has already committed to playing football at Alabama.
I was just like that as a baby. And the Dr. said it was because of too much milk. My mom never turned me down lol. After she changed my diet I turned into a normal size human.
“I think he will be having weight problems as an adult.”
Absolutely right! I’ve not doubt of that. If she doesn’t get that under control now, the kid will be a 400 to 500 pound adult.
