An 8-month-old baby in India who weighs as much as a healthy 4-year-old has left doctors stumped over what could be causing her rabid appetite. Chahat Kumar, who weighs 38 pounds, was born a healthy baby without any complications

Her weight is increasing excessively, and it has to be controlled. She has to eat less. She eats like a 10-year-old kid.

This is a baby boy not a girl. As indicted from the name "KUMAR" which is used for boys in India. Cool post and worth resteem

Thanks! Its an interesting story for sure.

Let's hope that he will be OK. It must be upsetting for his parents.

Hey kus-knee, how are you dear? In India there are a lot of superstitions. There was a character named "Bhim San" in Indian Hindu Scripture named "MahaBharta". Bhim San was huge and they say that he spun the elephants holding from their tails and throw into space. So, somebody just need to spread the rumor that this child is the reincarnation of Bhim San, then it will be blessing for the family!! Lots of people will visit to see and will donate millions to this baby and start to worship him.


The little baby with the tail I had heard about. Thanks for clearing up this cultural point so that I can better understand the situation!

People there don't understand the scientific or medical facts behinds such mutations but go superstitious for them!!
