He's just 11 months old but baby Deyner de Agudelo weighs as much as an eight-year-old.
His mother Milena says he was a normal size when he was born but started growing and growing when he was around 60 days old.
"He's had some tests and he has a thyroid malfunction. But he also has the bones of an eight year old boy and no-one has been able to tell me why."
Deyner weighs 28 kilograms, or about 61 pounds - that's more than four times what his baby friend of the same age weighs.
His doctor, David Dias, says more medical tests are needed to find out why.
"The baby's going to have tests done to see if he's obese or if we're dealing with hyperthyroidism."
Clothes are a major problem for Deyner's mother.
Hand me downs from his older brother aren't an option and no baby clothes are big enough.
As a result he spends most of his time wearing just a nappy - the largest size available of course.[/quote]
