Boy Who Hadn't Yet Turned One Weighed 31 Pounds – His Mom Claims He Was Born a Normal Weight
At 31, Alexa Priego became a mother to Kason. However, people constantly mistook him for a toddler due to his remarkable stature. His mother revealed that her baby boy's size consistently shocks strangers, and he already fits into toddler clothes.
Born at a standard weight of 7lb 14oz, Kason demonstrated a significant growth increase following just two months of breastfeeding. Alexa, a hospital administrator, noticed people's surprised reactions due to Kason's considerable size.
At 11 months old, Kason weighed in at 31 lbs, equivalent to an average two-year-old toddler, and dresses in clothes typically suited for three-year-olds. Kason's size has been a matter of discussion for Alexa. She stated, "He is the heaviest baby in the whole world." He's remarkably tall and robust. Doctors have informed Alexa that he's in the 99th percentile for weight and height.

In addition to Kason, Alexa has two other children - Owen, who is 10, and Gracie, aged 4. Doctors have speculated that Kason's considerable size may be due to Alexa's overproduction of milk. This unusual growth has drawn not only the attention of medical professionals but also Alexa's friends, whose two-year-olds are of comparable size to Kason.
Contrary to popular belief, Alexa states that Kason is entirely healthy. Alexa revealed that he's an absolute joy to care for, attributed to his laid-back nature and his penchant for greeting everyone with a smile. She said, "He crawls and can walk when he holds onto the side of the couch and tries to stand on everything."
Yet, despite his size, Kason is brimming with energy, displaying remarkable agility for his age. With a sense of pride, Alexa shares, "He is a very active boy. He crawls really fast too - he's very speedy for a big boy!"
However, every encounter hasn't been positive. Alexa admits that she and Kason occasionally face unsolicited criticism from strangers, who judge Kason based on his size. Holding her endearing son protectively, Alexa confides, "I've been picked on three times today, all because of my baby."
Despite some negative encounters, Alexa and Kason have also find immense support and love online from many who come across their story. One user, sakaywat1, passionately remarked, "Oh my goodness. Ain't nothing wrong with that baby boy, he's gorgeous." User Kassidy Backman echoed the sentiment, commenting, "Omg, chubby babies are the cutest [though]." User Courtlyn sent a heartening message to Alexa, asserting, "He's so cute there's nothing wrong with him don't listen to them." The flood of supportive comments is a testament to the fact that many see Kason for what he truly is – a healthy, adorable, and joyous baby.
Being an avid Instagram user, Alexa often brings her followers into the heart of her family life, sharing tender moments and milestones with her online community. In a heartwarming display of a mother's love, Alexa marked Kason's first birthday in style.
Adorned in a dapper bowtie and suspenders, the charming baby boy appeared every bit the birthday star. The photo showed Kason's delight on his special day, and his bright smile spoke volumes about the joyous occasion.
