“A two and a half year old boy measuring 4ft 5 ins and believed to be the world’s tallest toddler is the son of Asia’s tallest woman, who measures 7ft. Karan Singh is twice the size of his friends of the same age in Meerut, India, and his record-breaking mother believes this is just the start. “He was born big and is already half as tall as me, so I believe he will outgrow me soon,” said basketball-playing Shweatlana Singh, who dwarfs her husband, Sanjay, who himself towers over most people at 6ft 7in. Karan, who was twice the size of normal babies at birth, weighing 13lbs and measuring 2ft, never fitted baby clothes and now wears clothes designed for children aged 10. The constantly hungry toddler eats five apples in a go and demands ten teaspoonfuls of honey a day. In total the family spends $169 a month on food – almost three times their neighbours’ budgets.” w/ video
