‘What are you feeding them?’ is the question mum Brittany Opetaia-Halls constantly has to answer when strangers meet her children. Brittany, 29, from Brisbane, Australia has two girls, Malayisa-Maree, 4 – who wears clothes made to fit eight-year-olds – and Milana-Mae who, at six months old, is in the 99th percentile.

Brittany Opetaia-Halls, 29, welcomed her first child via c-section, Malayisa-Maree, in August 2020 - weighing 9lbs 4oz. Four years later, she gave birth naturally to another little girl, Milana-Mae, who tipped the scales at 9lbs 2oz, in a 24 hour labour.

When Malayisa-Maree was born via C-section in August 2020, she weighed 9lbs 4oz. That’s more than 2lbs more than the average weight for a full-term baby girl, which is 7lb 2oz. This June, her little sister came into the word at a similar weight of 9lbs 2oz.

Now, Milana-Mae tips the scales at 22lbs 9oz – more than 5lbs heavier than the average and heavier than 99% of other tots of the same age and sex. Mum Brittany said she knew her girls would be big, based on the size of her bump and the fact her husband, Rajan, is 6ft 2in.

‘I was showing pretty quickly with both of them,’ she said. ‘My husband is very tall so in my head, I went “oh no!”.’. After 20 weeks of pregnancy with Malayisa-Maree, Brittany’s bump was already measuring higher than average for that stage, and by the time she was born, Malayisa-Maree had hit the 99th percentile.

Looking back on her first time giving birth, Brittany recalled: ‘I decided to have a caesarian and when I had her she got stuck coming out of the incision with her shoulder. ‘When she did come out they rushed her off as I was losing a lot of blood.
