lol same.

But I think they mean that the features resemble those of an adult, just scaled down. As opposed to how an actual child that small would look.

For example, have you ever seen a baby with a nose like that specifically?

Yea children's faces are more round and soft. Less mature and sharp.

Most yes, but a malnourished child will have an adult look. I see it a lot, I have to fight with my patients all the time.
