The state, condition, or realm of being a baby; infancy as a distinct social and biological period.
From baby plus the suffix -dom (meaning state or realm), following the pattern of christendom, kingdom, etc.
Babydom is actually pretty new as a concept—before the 19th century, babies weren't really treated as a special category deserving their own realm of products, psychology, and literature like they are now!
