cute baby — Hive

A baby is a general word used to describe a human until about age 1 or 2 years old.
Other terms can be used to describe the baby's stage of development. These terms do not follow clear rules and are used differently by different people, and in different regions. For example, infant may be used until the baby can walk, while some use "infant" until the baby is one year old. From birth until to 3 months of age, a baby can be called a newborn. Depending on how many weeks gestation at birth, newborns may be termed premature, post-mature, or full term. The word infant comes from Latin: infans means "unable to speak".At birth, many parts of the newborn's skull are yet converted to bone, leaving "soft spots". Later in the child's life, these bones fuse together naturally. A protein called noggin is responsible for the delay in an infant's skull fusion. During labour and birth, the infant's skull changes shape as it goes through the birth canal. Sometimes this causes the child to be born with a misshapen or elongated head. It will usually return to normal in a short time.
After learning to walk, babies are often called toddlers, usually between one and three years of age Sometimes, a woman's baby may die before or during its birth. Babies which have died in this way are called stillborn babies, or miscarried babies.
