Giant Chinese baby boy weighs 44 pounds — Dubbed the Michelin baby

Lei Lei wasn’t always a huge baby. In fact, he weighed only slightly less than 7 pounds at birth. However, his ferocious appetite for his mother’s breast milk quickly led to a massive weight gain.
All was well until his Mother, Xiao Lei, took him to a local hospital to seek treatment for a fever. Doctors were immediately concerned upon citing the over-sized boy—so much so that they forwarded the story over to Redney, a local Chinese news agency.
Less than an hour later, Lei Lei went from just being a chubby little boy into a world sensation described as having cheeks like “two plumps of meat” and arms and legs like “stacked hula hoops of fate,” reports AFP.
