A member asked:
What age is a baby no longer considered a newborn?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wording issue: Most data collectors considers the first 28 days after birth as the newborn period. It is more an artificial label than a real period. Some would label the infancy period as being from birth to the point of walking.
