My baby’s so big he’s basically a TODDLER – I buy him clothes for big kids, people can’t believe his real age

A MUM'S four-month-old baby is so big she buys him clothes for 18-month-olds - and nobody can believe it when she tells them his age.

Naya Perry, 24, gave birth to her first son, Lucio, on September 24, 2023 - and he was a normal size and weight - at 7lb 11oz.

But the tot started growing rapidly - and by two months old was wearing clothes for 12-month babies.

At his last doctors check-in his weight was in the 97th percentile at 20lbs - and his length was "off the charts" at 27 inches.

Single stay-at-home mum Naya comes from a family of tall people - with her dad and brother coming in at 6ft 3in and 6ft 2in respectively.

Naya herself is 5ft 11in and her baby's father is 5ft 10in so her son's height came as no surprise.

The mum-of-one said he's hitting lots of milestones early too - he can hold his bottle and drink for himself, roll over and repeat sounds.

Single stay-at-home mom Naya, from Jacksonville, Florida, said: "He was 21 inches when he was born so he was tall but not extraordinarily big.

"But he grows so fast - he loves his food and he is always hungry!

"He loves sweet potatoes, apple and banana baby food and carrots - and if he doesn't eat, he gets an attitude.

"He goes through clothes so quickly and the doctors say he is hitting milestones faster than he should be.

"People see his hair and come over to tell me he's so cute - and when I tell them how old he is, they say 'no way!'."

I put my baby to bed and moments later gave birth again, now I’m a mum to three under three

Not-so-little Lucio first gets people's attention because of his thick mop of hair.

But nobody can believe how developed he is for just four months old.

Naya said she's constantly asked what she feeds him - although she doesn't give him anything out of the ordinary.

She added: "When he sees himself in the mirror he smiles every time - he's very conceited.''
