Neonate & Child

Neonate refers to a newborn baby, typically within the first 28 days of life. This stage is crucial for adaptation to life outside the womb, with rapid physiological changes such as breathing and feeding. Neonates require special care to ensure proper warmth, nutrition, and infection prevention. Child, on the other hand, is a broader term covering the period from infancy to puberty, characterized by significant physical, emotional, and cognitive growth. Proper nutrition, education, and nurturing environments are vital for their development. Both neonates and children are highly dependent on caregivers and require healthcare tailored to their specific growth needs.
