Question

Why a baby wrapped tightly with warm cloths than an adult man in winter?

Answer 1

The baby loses heat up to four times faster than adult man.
One big reason: There's less body mass to cool on a child and proportionally more skin, through which heat is lost. Also, kids can't generate body heat for as long as adults because their smaller muscles can store only so much heat-generating glycogen. And while adults shiver to keep warm, babies don’t yet have that ability.
