What is going
on with your baby during week 26?
Your baby now acquires
a special layer of fat
which acts as an insulator,
keeping baby warm in the
weeks after birth. This
fat known as 'brown fat'
because of its color is
found at the neck area,
around the kidneys and
behind the breastbone.
It is a special kind of
fat meant to keep baby
warm and is found in both
newborn babies and hibernating
animals. Baby's weight
is about 2 pounds (900g)
and measures at 9¼ inches
(23cm). |
