Neonatorum

Neonatorum, also known as newborns, refers to infants from birth up to 28 days of age. This term is often used in medical contexts to describe the period immediately following birth, during which newborns undergo significant physiological changes and require specialized care. Neonatal care focuses on stabilizing vital functions, preventing infections, and promoting growth and development. Neonates are particularly vulnerable to various health issues, including respiratory distress syndrome, jaundice, and feeding difficulties. Advances in neonatal medicine have improved survival rates and outcomes for newborns, making neonatorum a critical area of pediatric healthcare.
