Sarah Dines, a mother, recently welcomed her son Montague into the world. At just 11 months old, Montague already weighs 11 pounds 8 ounces, which is equivalent to the size of a typical three-month-old baby. Sarah humorously remarked that her son appeared “absurd” as his newborn clothes were too snug for his size.

Despite initially planning for a natural water birth at her home in Broadstone, Dorset, Sarah, a 35-year-old teacher, had to alter her birthing plans. This was due to the significant size of her baby, which ultimately led to her undergoing a C-section for delivery, deviating from her original intention of an unmedicated birth.

Montague’s birth brought an unexpected amusement to the delivery room as everyone burst into laughter upon seeing his size. The doctor even jokingly commented that he seemed ready to attend school. The small towel they attempted to wrap him in proved futile, as it failed to encircle his large frame. None of the clothes Sarah had prepared for Montague were able to accommodate his size upon his arrival into the world.

The older Montague became, the more his size exceeded his age. Despite being nearly one year old, he already wears clothes meant for children aged two to three. Even the cap provided to him at the hospital proved to be too small, necessitating Sarah’s sister to hurriedly purchase diapers that would fit him.

Despite undergoing numerous tests, none of Sarah’s doctors could provide an explanation for Montague’s unusually large birth size. Even though both Sarah and her husband Elliot are above-average in height, they were tested multiple times for gestational diabetes, but the results consistently came back negative. Sarah has come to believe that their own heights may contribute to their inability to have a small baby, and she jokingly speculates that their future babies will likely be big as well.
