An infant (from the Latin word infans, meaning "unable to speak" or "speechless") is the very young offspring of a human or other mammal. When applied to humans, the term is usually considered synonymous with baby, but the latter is commonly applied to the young of any animal. When a human child learns to walk, the term toddler may be used instead.
The term infant is typically applied to young children between the ages of 1 month and 12 months; however, definitions vary between birth and 3 years of age. A newborn is an infant who is only hours, days, or up to a few weeks old. In medical contexts, newborn or neonate (from Latin, neonatus, newborn) refers to an infant in the first 28 days after birth; the term applies to premature infants, postmature infants, and full term infants. Before birth, the term fetus is used.
Infant is also a legal term referring to any child under the age of legal adulthood.
A newborn's shoulders and hips are wide, the abdomen protrudes slightly, and the arms and legs are relatively long with respect to the rest of their body. In first world nations, the average birth weight of a full-term newborn is approximately 3.2 kg.(7 ½ lbs), and is typically in the range of 2.7–4.6 kg (5.5–10 pounds). The average total body length is 35.6–50.8 cm (14–20 inches), although premature newborns may be much smaller. The Apgar score is a measure of a newborn's transition from the uterus during the first minutes after birth.

But the newborn is sleeping tonight
Innocence is silently breathing
All the demons are taking flight
Spinning in the room all around her
She's the eye in the calm of the storm
All the legions that surround her
Came together on the day she was born
You can feel the fear
Shrinkin' like a shadow in the midday sun
All the champions of disaster are on the run…
Now the darkness is slowly receding
Like a wild flower she has grown
She's a prize for the tribe to believe in
Oh the devotees won't leave her alone
Sometimes in the twilight she cries for hours
Trading blows with the worst and the best
She's fighting for a limitless future
Yeah she won't stand for anything less
You can feel the fear
Shrinkin' like a shadow in the midday sun
Every beast of the earth is still feeding
And we're still hangin' on.
Now we're counting the ways to support her
While we wait for the anguish to mend
From the well of chaos that brought her
We will drink all the way to the end.
You can feel the fear
Shrinkin' like a shadow in the midday sun
Weapons lie battered and broken
All the wars have been won
Ancient enemies were drawn together
On the day she was born
She's still fighting to keep her eyes open
