How does brown fat differ from the other fat in your baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More heat!: Brown fat, which develops in babies during the 3rd trimester, is very important helping the newborn maintain a stable temperature. Premies do not have time to develop brown fat, and they often have trouble maintaining a normal body temperature.
