Nigerians have called on the National Agency for Food and Drug istration and Control (NAFDAC) to probe a weight gain pap for babies being sold by a TikTok .

The TikTok shared a video of an overweight four-month-old baby girl, claiming she gained weight after being fed the product.

“The Baby is only four months old. POV: my customer's baby while using our Baby's weight gain Pap. Now tell me why haven't you gotten our products yet,” she captioned the video.

She also shared another video of a one-year-old, claiming he weighs 47 kg.

“He is currently weighing 47kg. The was last month when I checked. And he is only a year old tho. Our baby's weight gain pap keeps doing the magic,” the caption on the video reads.

The review read, “We are four months. She is doing wonders. People dey gather her; they call her boss baby. Madam, what are you feeding her with? E choke, my baby na celeb everywhere we dey. The joy is heavenly."

Reposting the videos, some X.com s raised concerns about the potential harm of the product.

Popular Nigerian health influencer, Dr. Chinonso Egemba, better known as Aproko Doctor, urged NAFDAC to take immediate action.

“Dear #NafdacAgency, I’m guessing this is within your purview. No one knows what is inside that pap. Also, this is setting these babies for damage," he wrote.


Sharing the videos, #JaceTheJace wrote, “Can you just imagine this? We need to find a way to stop this person. She took the video off her page; this is the page in question.”

Another X #Talk2veee questioned the obsession with “chubby babies” and the potential harm of promoting such products.

“What’s the obsession with chubby babies? Are slim babies unhealthy?” she wrote.

Another wrote: "Are these people aware children can get diabetes? Even certain adults don’t weigh that much!!!! This is not healthy!!! Obesity is not healthy and it’s linked with different diseases!

“This is child abuse and child endangerment, this is a crime. These people are loading babies with steroids to fatten them up making them prone to illnesses they’ll have to manage for the rest of their lives. Is there even a child protection agency in Nigeria that isn’t an NGO?”

Orisirisi.
Including bleachers, use of cream on kids.
Some parent/guardian can be funny. What do you gain by inflating a kids weight?
Is it for elephant baby competition or what?
What do you gain by bleaching a child's skin?
As someone said below, emergency parents of Gen Z generations, we hail thee.
Some cravings or craze amaze normal human beings.

Instead of you to feed your child healthily, you are buying organic products with a risk of many health-related issues, to make the baby fat so they'll think it feeds well!

Many young parents of these days are foolish!

If you ever feed my child that, you are done with the marriage!

Check well, they are probably adding creatine in the mixture.
Which is bad for the their kidneys and can cause hypertension even in the babies.
