Frühneugeborenenzeit
Frühneugeborenenzeit, also known as the neonatal period, refers to the first 28 days of life, following birth. This phase is critical for the development of various physiological systems in the newborn. During this time, the body undergoes significant changes, including the transition from placental to maternal nutrition, the development of respiratory and cardiovascular systems, and the establishment of body temperature regulation. The neonatal period is characterized by rapid growth and development, with the newborn's body tripling in size and weight.
The early days of this period are often referred to as the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU)
The neonatal period is also a time of significant emotional and psychological development for the newborn.
In summary, the Frühneugeborenenzeit is a critical phase of development that encompasses the first 28 days
