Neonates

A human infant smaller than a month old is a neonate. The word " neonate " includes premature infants, postmature infants and full term newborns. Subsequently referred to as "toddlers" (normally 12-36 months). Daycares with an "infant room" generally call all children in it " neonate " even if they are older than a year and/or walking; they sometimes use the term "walking neonate ".
