Look at his puffy cheeks! Meet Santiago, an infant born in Bogota, Columbia who weighs in at a startling 40 pounds!



Most eight month olds only tip in at about seventeen pounds, while little Santiago weighs about the same as a normal child aged six.

So how did Santiago get so big? His mom, Eunice Fandiño, admitted that her own "ignorance" had made her son pile on weight because every time he cried she gave him food or milk to calm him down.

"He was born with an anxiety so if he cried I just fed him," she said, adding that she was virtually a prisoner in her home because the baby was too heavy to take out.

There’s nothing medically wrong with Santiago, but doctors have put him on a diet of fruit and vegetable juice instead of formula.
