What is a "term infant"?
A term infant is a baby born between 37 and 42 weeks of pregnancy. This is the full duration of a typical pregnancy, and babies born during this time are usually well-developed and ready for life outside the womb. Term infants typically have fewer health issues compared to those born prematurely, before 37 weeks, or post-term, after 42 weeks.
