Question
My sister’s child is currently only ten months old, but weighs significantly more than his or her peers, with relatives and friends pointing out that the child is overly large. Is it normal for large-born children to be so?
Answer
The development of large-born children is typically not a normal phenomenon. During the fetal growth process, large-born children may be accompanied by malformations or developmental defects. After birth, large-born children may also have physiological defects, making them prone to health issues such as obesity, hypertension, or diabetes during growth. Therefore, if appropriate health care measures are not taken for large-born children, it may cause serious harm to their development.
