10 Month Old Baby Boy Who Already Weighs as Much as a Nine Year Old (Photos)

A 10-month-old baby weighs as much as a nine-year-old at a massive weight of four stone and 10 pounds.

Luis Manuel weighed a normal healthy weight when he was born at seven pounds and 11 ounces, but since then he has put on a lot of weight.

His parents suspect the child, who has struggled to breathe because of his rapid weight gain, suffers from Prader-Willi syndrome.

This is the same condition affecting Katie Price’s son, Harvey. It is a genetic disorder and means those affected are permanently hungry.

Luis’ mother Isabel Pantoja said: “After only one month we noticed that clothes did not fit him and we had to dress him in clothes for a one-year-old, and even a two-year-old. We saw our baby gain weight so fast. Sometimes, he could not sleep because he felt like he was suffocating due to his weight.”

Luis’ parents have now launched a fundraising campaign to pay for his treatment if his diagnosis is confirmed by doctors in Tecoman, Mexico. Treatment would consist of a series of hormone injections, with each one reportedly costing more than £400.
