10-month-old baby's rare disorder

Indigo Nowakowsky-Kaiuha suffers from Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, a rare overgrowth disorder
In what is one of the most severe illnesses of its kind, a baby girl born just 10 months ago is already the size of an average five-year-old because of a rare overgrowth disorder.

Indigo Nowakowsky-Kaiuha suffers from Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome that affects only one in 15,000 children.

 Indigo has blown up to a staggering 25kg, meaning she no longer fits into her car seat, requiring a custom one to be made.

The condition means that helpless child also suffers from a wide range of symptoms including restricted movement and breathing problems.
