Do infants require fewer calories than toddlers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Typically infants require less calories than toddlers. The amount of calories required is based on their physical activity and weight. Typically a toddler is more active than an infant and they are heavier. Thus they rquire more calories than an infant.
