Neonates
Neonates are newborn babies, typically from birth up to 28 days old. This stage is critical for growth and development as the baby adjusts to life outside the womb. During this time, neonates require careful medical attention, proper nutrition, and a safe environment to support their rapidly developing organs, immune system, and senses. Healthcare providers focus on monitoring vital signs, preventing infections, and addressing any immediate health concerns to ensure a healthy start to life. Proper care during the neonatal period is essential for laying the foundation for long-term health and development.
