A BABY boy is so overweight his mum has been forced to dress him in his father’s clothes.
At 16 months, Muhammad Kenzi Alfaro weighs 60lbs – more than a typical eight-year-old – and wears size XXXL nappies.
Footage of the massive baby went viral as his mum helped him sit up in their home in Bandung Regency, Indonesia.
The average weight of a 16-month is roughly 22lbs – less than half Kenzi’s bulk.
Mum Pitriah said he is so large the family’s stroller isn’t strong enough to support him.
Kenzi is not able to sit or stand on his own, and his parents struggle to carry him
Pitriah said: “His father’s body is also small. His father’s clothes just fit him, sometimes they are also worn on my son.”
She said the nappies they buy for young Kenzi aren’t strong, so they only use them when he sleeps at night to save money.
The mum said there are not many XXXL nappies sold in their town, so Kenzi has been forced to wear XXL – but they’re too small.
She continued: “So I put on the double XL, I also bought the one in the shop, but the triple XL in the shop doesn’t exist.”
Kenzi was a large baby – almost 10lbs at birth – but his weight has ballooned in the last year.
Health visitors weighed him at a routine checkup in December.
Since then they have been providing intensive outpatient care.
Now Kenzi is reportedly undergoing tests at Hermina Bekasi Hospital in an effort to help him lose weight.
It was unclear whether any underlying health condition caused his weight gain.
Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin said he had ordered officials to monitor the case and provide treatment.
