neonates
Just-delivered babies
Neonates are newborn infants, specifically those in the first 28 days of life.
The term is primarily medical, appearing in clinical contexts: neonatal intensive care, neonatal mortality rates.
A neonate differs from a fetus (before birth) and an infant (the broader term covering the first year).
The hospital's neonatal unit handles premature births.
