A member asked:
Why do baby and toddlers look like they have a big belly? is it from their organs being big?

Muscle tone: Low abdominal wall tone and food intake some bloating and dilation of stomach and intestine is responsible for ths . Relatively the organs are larger too.

Loose 6 pack: Babies benefit from having a loose 6 pack/abdominal wall muscles. If it were tight in the womb, blood flow through the umbilical cord would be restricted. This looseness persists until well after the kid starts doing natural crunches (getting to sitting/walking).
