World's largest baby weighs same as 9 year old due to mystery condition Luis Manuel Gonzales <br /> <br />A couple in Colima, Mexico are at a loss as to how to help their overweight 10-month-old child, who weighs the same as the average nine-year-old. <br /> <br />Luis Manuel Gonzales was born at a normal 8lbs, however, he now weighs 62lbs and doctors have been unable to find an explanation for his mysterious weight gain. <br /> <br />Medics suspect that Gonzales, who has been dubbed the “world’s largest baby,” could be suffering from a hormone imbalance. <br /> <br />Speaking to Mail Online, Gonzales’ mother, Isabel Pantoja, explained that she originally attributed her son’s rapid growth to her having “good breast milk.” <br /> <br />Doctors suspected that Gonzales might have Prader-Willi Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder whereby sufferers have an insatiable diet, restricted growth and reduced muscle tone. <br /> <br />However, Pantoja revealed that this diagnosis was ruled out after she explained that her son is not an excessive eater and consumes a normal amount of food for a child his age. <br /> <br />She and her husband Mario are constantly taking him to the hospital for tests and have opened a dedicated bank account for friends and family to donate money into to help with the high medical care costs. <br /> <br />The couple confessed that they have also struggled to find a buggy that can sustain their son’s weight, revealing that one has already collapsed underneath him. <br /> <br />Their son’s case is reportedly now in the hands of surgeon Silvia Orozco, who recently conducted a thorough examination on him. <br /> <br />Though she is waiting for test results to confirm her diagnosis, Orozco believes that Pantoja's pregnancy diet might be to blame for her son’s unexplained weight gain. <br /> <br />It’s possible that she was deficient in key nutrients that inhibited her son’s metabolic development in the womb. <br /> <br />If the tissue analysis results prove her theory correct, Orozco thinks that Gonzales' condition could be aided by hormone shots, Mail Online reports... <br /> <br />Mr Strange News
