A baby generally refers to a human child of less than 1 year out of the womb. A newborn, a child of less than 1 month, is often also called a baby. At birth, a newborn is on average 7.5 pounds, but the normal range is 5-10 pounds.
Newborns start with poor vision, but this quickly improves as the baby grows. Babies have an instinctive need to suckle, necessary for them to feed properly. Their sense of smell is developed, and most babies can discern their mother's milk from another woman's. Babies typically respond to a female voice better than a deep male voice, and thus people have a tendency to speak in a higher pitch around babies.
