My five-month-old is so chunky – people say it’s ‘not normal’, call him a ‘unit’ & think he’ll be an American footballer
A WOMAN has revealed that she has a chunky baby who’s in the 99th percentile.
Darian Lynn, a brunette beauty from the US, explained that her five-month-old son is at the highest end of the scale used to measure babies, meaning he is severely obese.
Posting on social media, the mother gave her followers a close-up look at her big baby, leaving many open-mouthed.
Darian sat behind her son, who is already able to sit upright by himself, and he’s not even six-months-old.
Darian’s son sat in a nappy, alongside his empty milk bottle.
The content creator then held up her self-proclaimed “chunky baby” and wrote: “That’s on a 99th percentile baby”.
She danced the youngster around, showing off his adorable arm rolls and chunky legs, with many comparing him to Boss Baby – the character voiced by Alec Baldwin in the hit animated comedy film produced by DreamWorks.
Whilst the mother didn’t share how much her son currently weighs, she later confirmed: “He was 8 lbs 1 oz at birth and hasn’t looked back since.
“At his two month check up he was 14 lbs 13 oz.”
But Darian explained that as a result of her heavy baby, she is “in pain”, as she confessed: “It’s so fun, but I’m in pain. My back and my knees are so unwell but he’s cute so I’ll let it slide.
“Not sure my knees and back will ever recover at this point.”
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @darian_lynn, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly gone viral and has since racked up a jaw-dropping 1.7 million views.
Social media users were left gobsmacked by the big baby and were keen to compliment him in the comments.
One person said: “Cutest one for sure!! So adorable!!”
Another added: “Absolute perfection.”
This child is my NFL draft pick for 2046

A third commented: “What a cutie.”
However, at the same time, some users were concerned by the youngster’s weight.
