Do giant babies like this one turn into giant adults?
Yes. There’s no way to predict exactly how big this enormous infant will become, but studies have shown a linear correlation between birth weight and adult size (as measured by the body mass index). We also know that the length of a baby is associated with its eventual height and weight. In other words, heavy babies tend to grow up fat and long babies tend to grow up tall.
Studies have also shown that bigger parents have bigger babies, which in turn end up as bigger adults.
