Question
A parent inquired about their 8-month-old child who weighs 32 kilograms, seeking to understand whether the weight is excessive and what checks should be conducted to determine the cause.
Answer
According to the description, the baby’s weight is significantly above the normal range. Generally, an 8-month-old baby should weigh approximately 9 kilograms. If the child’s height development is normal, there may be an obesity issue, which could be related to anemia or a deficiency of trace elements in the body. If the height development is rapid, growth hormone issues should be considered. It is recommended that the parents bring the child to a local pediatrician for a comprehensive examination as soon as possible to enable timely diagnosis and appropriate measures to be taken.
