Why does a fetuses skin not break down in amniotic fluid the way an adults skin would in water?

Do you mean how our skin gets wrinkles and prunes in water?
Well babies can be born wrinkly and pruning depending on many factors like if they were born prematurely or late. Also depends on the vernix caseosa, which coats and protects the baby’s skin. This can all be affected by the babies and mother’s health.
