Neonates, also known as newborns, are infants who are in the early stages of life and are still adjusting to the world outside the womb. Other synonyms for neonates may include neonatal babies, infant newborns, young infants, and newborn babies. Each of these synonyms highlights the same concept as "neonates." They refer to babies who are newly born and need special care, attention, and support to thrive. The term "neonates" is commonly used in medical terminology, but each of these synonyms can be used interchangeably to describe the same stage of early infancy.
