Babies who have recently been born, typically referring to infants in their first few weeks of life. The term encompasses the earliest stage of human life outside the womb.
Compound of 'new' and 'born,' with 'born' deriving from Old English 'boren,' past participle of 'beran' meaning to carry or bring forth. This straightforward compound reflects the universal human experience of new life entering the world.
Newborns are born with remarkable abilities that adults have lost—they can breathe and swallow simultaneously, and they're born with more bones than adults (about 300 versus 206) because many bones haven't fused yet! Their brains grow faster in the first year than at any other time in human life.
