The bulging gut of babies, brown fat

The swelling suffered by babies' belly is something that does not denote health problems, it is a characteristic feature in the constitution of the baby, but as it grows, this bulge of your gut disappears acquiring a more normal appearance.

This is not a symptom of being overweight, it is not about obesity, the baby's belly is a small space to contain the same organs as an adult, although it is in a smaller proportion in terms of size, this space is smaller than that of a adult. In addition, another factor that enhances the swelling of the tripita is brown fat, a reserve that the baby has distributed from the neck to the gut and in the area around the kidneys.

This reserve fat is very important, since it helps to regulate the temperature of the organism so that it stays warm, in addition to a disease that the child suffers, it helps not to suffer excessive weakness, since when he is sick he eats less and his organism uses this fat. This fat is responsible for promoting energy production. This fat is related to the heat generated to maintain the temperature, that is, when the child begins to walk, the heat generation is greater and therefore the reserve of brown fat begins to be unnecessary, as the baby's organism it strengthens, the brown fat disappears

The fact that a baby does not know how to walk is also the cause of their abdominals not developing, these muscles, when strengthened, are responsible for keeping the triplet in place. When you start walking, they will develop and harden and this motive along with the disuse of brown fat, will give you a more slender figure.

Well this is in the usual case, swelling of the triplet can also occur due to excess gas or constipation, but for these cases there are remedies that pediatricians advise and that are important to follow.
