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

Hopefully he’ll grow out of his ‘baby fat’.
I would have expected her mammories to be bigger than that?
Maybe it all goes to the baby?

Kid looks ridiculously overfed OR has medical issue mother hasn’t gotten addressed. I suspect the former. Either way, mother doesn’t seem too bright

Have you read through the posts, on this thread?
Several have commented that their babies were very similar, and, grew out of and up, to be normal sized kids/adults.
The mom doesn’t seem to bright??
She’s a hospital administrator … so, she’s at least working/keeping a job.
Are you a pediatrician?
Jeez Jane lighten up. I love and appreciate the articles you post - we don’t all have same opinion. I have worked as maternity and pediatric nurse though. My comments are based on my work experience and observations. They may not be everyone’s opinion and thank God here at least on FR in USA, that is still okay. Keep posting, information is always appreciated, have a good day.
