A 25-year old Indian woman married to a 28-year old tailor is scared
she might lose her 10-months old baby especially with doctors not
helping out.
Aliya Saleem weighed a healthy 9lbs at birth but
started piling on the pounds at four months old. She now weighs 2st
13lbs. Her mom is worried because she lost her second child to obesity
before having Aliya, and now Aliya is growing more than normal.

Her weight is that of a 6-year old girl, she
said soberly. She was also quick to say she is the most loved baby in
the village and everyone loved to touch her, just that most of them
can’t lift her up. The couple have a 5-year old son (their first child)
who lives a healthy life.
A consultant in Delhi, has described Aliya’s
case to be that of morbid obesity or even a hormonal imbalance. We hope
something could be done fast.
