An infant as big as a six-year-old

In Hunan province, in southern.China, a ten-month-old baby boy, who was born at normal weight (around 7.7 lbs) has grown to be as big as a six-year-old in a matter of months. ITN News reports, that the kid weighs around 44 lbs, equivalent to the weight of normal six-year-old child.

What does this mean? I'm sure that kid and his mama both will be studied. The fears are that he may have been exposed to tainted food. But his mother said, "I feed my son with my breast milk. I've never had him take any milk powder or anything that contains hormones."

The boy is in the hospital enduring a series of tests. One could speculate that he may have some kind of giant gene. If the kid keeps growing, pretty soon he'll be ready for professional wrestling. ITN News reports that the kid is so big now, that carrying him in her arms, is tough work for his mum. See the video.
