infancy

Infancy refers to the early stage of human development from birth until about two years old.

When we talk about infancy, we usually mean the first couple of years of life when babies are totally dependent on their parents. It's a time of rapid growth and learning, but also a period when children need constant care and supervision. During this time, they start to discover the world around them, learn how to sit up, crawl, stand, and eventually walk. It's an exciting and sometimes challenging phase for both babies and their families, as they navigate sleepless nights, feeding schedules, and trying to figure out what all these little noises and expressions mean!
