The moment fans of TLC’s 7 Little Johnstons have been waiting for has arrived—Elizabeth “Liz” Johnston has given birth to her baby girl. However, fans are curious to know if the newborn, Leighton Drew Bolden, has dwarfism like her mother or takes after her father, Brice. Let’s explore the question of whether Liz Johnston’s baby is a little person.
Recently, there have been discussions among fans about the possibility of Liz’s baby girl having dwarfism. While pictures of the newest addition to the Johnston family have been flooding Instagram, the question remains unanswered. In a joint post, Liz and Brice introduced their daughter as “Leighton Drew Bolden, 5 lbs 10 oz, 19 inches long of pure sweetness. We couldn’t be more in love with you!!!”
Unfortunately, the post did not explicitly confirm whether Liz Johnston’s baby girl has dwarfism. However, fans have been speculating based on the baby’s birth measurements.
According to MedicalNewsToday, Liz Johnston and Brice Bolden had a 50 percent chance of having a baby with achondroplasia, the most common form of dwarfism. On average, newborns with achondroplasia measure between 12 and 13 inches long. Elizabeth Johnston’s Instagram post mentioned that her baby girl was 19 inches long. Statistically, it is highly unlikely for a 19-inch newborn to have achondroplasia. Based on this information, most fans of 7 Little Johnstons assume that Leighton Drew Bolden is not a little person.
As for when Liz Johnston will share this information, it remains uncertain. She and Brice Bolden might reveal it on social media or save the announcement for an episode of 7 Little Johnstons. Alternatively, they could choose to sell the exclusive story to a media outlet, as they did with the birth story.
Currently, most fans feel confident in their speculation that Liz Johnston’s baby is not a little person. However, it is important to note that this is based on available information and has not been confirmed by Liz Johnston or Brice Bolden.
