Suffering from a rare syndrome, a new𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 has just been 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 that has been classified as an “alien” and has been abandoned by his own mother after 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡.

The 35-year-old mother, Khalida Begum, gave 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 to a 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 on Monday night, but was completely ‘shocked’ when she saw the strangely shaped boy with a small head and large bulging eyes. The 35-year-old mother has yet to name her 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 and even refuses to breastfeed.

Doctors in India made a provisional diagnosis that he had an extremely rare genetic condition called Harlequin Ichthyosis, which causes the patient to have thick skin and a disfigured figure. However, the boy’s symptoms seem to coincide with another defect called Anencephaly.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, babies are 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 with this condition because they are 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 without the upper part of the brain and skull. Specifically, the forebrain and the brainstem.

Statistically, only 5 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦sitters out of every 10,000 babies 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 in the UK each year suffer from Harlequin Ichthyosis.

The mother of four, from Kathihar in the North Indian state of Bihar, said that when she first saw his son’s form, she asked the midwife to take the boy out of sight.

“Many parts of a 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦’s body are not fully developed. When I saw my 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 for the first time after 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡, I was completely shocked by his ‘alien’ appearance. I was so surprised and saddened that I had to ask the midwife to take the 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 out of sight. My other 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren were 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 healthy and without deformities. That took me a long time to get over the shock,” the mother shared.

Fortunately, a few hours later, she started to calm down and was happy to start breastfeeding.

Since then, villagers have flocked to the family home, believing that the boy is an incarnation of the Hindu monkey.
