When does a newborn stopped being called one?
To me a newborn is when they are 'new' so up until 4 weeks old.
What age do you stop referring to them as a newborn?

I'd say up to 6-8 weeks.

I thought technically it was 12 weeks? Then they are a baby... then when they hit 1 they're a toddler?
I'm sure I read that somewhere

I'm pretty sure its 4 weeks too... I think its in the blue book.
ETA: Web definitions : Newborn = Neonate. Pertaining to the first 4 weeks of life.

Kinda gets on my nerves (but not to much) when people say they have a newborn....but bub is 2+ months old already...LOL
Was wondering when everyone else stopped referring to their babies as newborns!
