CARTA: Unique Features of Human Skin – Chris Kuzawa: Subcutaneous Fat in Humans

Quite probable, my firstborn son birthed approx. one month prematurely due to some issues in my wife's pregnancy and pretty lean, too. After he was released from the hospital he ate about double the amounts babies usually eat. To compensate for that loss os goodly energy reserve. As he was a firstborn to my wife also, her milk just wasn't enough. And the time he spent in the hospital messed up the natural mechanisms as well, no matter how hard she tried. So we had to bottle-feed him some extra. Actually quite a lot of it. This continued for some months. Luckily, his brain didn't suffer much.
