Babies who love to move tend to be thin. In a person's life, the fastest growth period is within the first year after birth. The weight increases by two times from birth to one year old. The main reason for this is that babies have low activity levels and sleep 15 to 16 hours a day. As the body outgrows its output, it is natural that their weight continues to increase. After one year old, as the baby learns to walk independently and his range of activities increases, the rate of weight gain gradually slows down. Therefore, some babies who are particularly naughty and active are generally thinner.
