Hi F.. Newborns are up to a month or two but they Will be babies until two. I was reading you other post and my girlfriend had two twin boys that were preemies. Routine, routine is the way to go with the twins. Every time they would awake for naps etc she would feed them during the day because they more they eat during they day the sooner hopefully they will sleep at night. Around 4 Months she started putting cereal in their bottles and that also helped. During the day she tried keeping them up every four hours etc then they would sleep better at naps. Try making the rooms bright during the day and as evening approaches start making the house quiet peaceful and darker. This shall set the mood. Try warm baths at night with Johnson's bedtime bath and lotion. Feed them right before bed and then again at 11:00 or so. I used to prop my daughter up in her crib or bassinet at 10:30 feed her she would not even awake then burp her and put her back in she slept straight thru. Hope this helps.

F., does it really matter? There's nothing magical that happens that makes a baby "turn into an infant." Newborns are infants too :):):):):) I don't think there is any technical definition, they are all babies.

I believe 3 months. For instance, if you look at clothing sizes they tend to range NB/0-3 months, 3 - 6 months, 6 - 9 months, etc.
