The brown adipose tissue (BAT) makes up about 5% of a newborn's body weight. Newborn babies cannot yet efficiently thermoregulate themselves because they are so young. The BAT helps a baby's body with non-shivering thermogenesis when the body falls below a certain temperature. It also serves as cushioning and protection for the body parts.
