This Baby Is Already 41 Pounds – Before Her 1st Birthday

Those chubby cheeks – and arms and chest and legs and belly. Everything about Aliya Saleem is roly-poly pinchable. But the baby girl’s cute curves are actually nothing to smile about. At just 10 months old, she weighs a staggering 41 pounds, putting her at risk for serious health issues including diabetes and high cholesterol. The weight for an average 10-month-old girl, in contrast, is between 14 and 21 pounds. 

 

Aliya’s sister grew obese with similar speed and tragically didn’t live to age 2, according to their mom Shabana Saleem, 25. “Kids love playing with her, but few can lift her,” the Jharkhand, India mother tells The Sun, adding, “We have to buy her clothes every two weeks because the old ones get too tight.”
