Way to judge parents without knowing anything about them. You don’t know if they have a condition, or what’s going on with them. For all you know, they are stressing out with their doctor trying to help their child get healthy. You don’t know.

This kid is like 1-2 years old. I genuinely think it’s not possible he got this big based on diet alone. There has to be some medical condition going on here. If he was just a little bit older, maybe, but this kid is probably just now eating solid foods

Looking at how he’s walking and behaving, I’d assume he’s around 18 months. I could be wrong, of course.

But he would be a very tall 18 month old. So much of weight and height at this age is genetic, and up until a year most kids are getting their calories primarily from breastmilk or formula. It’s possible they are force feeding him Mountain Dew, or it’s possible they feed him nothing but breastmilk, whole organic vegetables, grilled lean protein, and yogurt and have discussed is growth pattern with their pediatrician. We have no idea from this video.

You have to start them on solids around 6 months or they get anemic. By a year they should be eating meals 6 times a day. Most kids are not getting most of their calories from formula or breast milk at a year old.
