The Chubbiest Cheeks You Will Ever See

Posted by Brett Singer

You know the drill. Cute babies. Those cheeks. Oy! Those cheeks! What a punim!

But this is just ridiculous. Look at those things.

Those cheeks are chubby. Uber-chubby.

Someone on the site I found this on expressed dismay at the size of the cheeks: "omg that should be child abuse letting an infant get that fat! sick!" Someone else responded with "some babies are chubbier than others... " I think it's just the way the photo was shot. But I could be wrong. Cute, though.

Looks painful. Partially the angle, but even a side view such as this, the average bears cheeks would not puff out past the lips as these do. Funny.

That looks like a reaction to medication to me.

I'm with Knitty on this - looks like some sort of allergic reaction or congenital medical condition. Where did this picture come from?

The pic was from a blog, linked above. Now I'm all nervous. Allergic reaction?

Steroid-based medications can make one's face swell up, and if I remember correctly, that side effect is very common with babies and toddlers.

Ummm..... How could anyone think that was cute? It HAS to be a medical condition. The cheeks have, like, freaking stretch marks!! Poor baby.
