Infants are considered newborns or neonates until they are 1 month old (assuming that they were born full term). From the ages of 1 month until 12 months, they are called infants or babies. After that they are toddlers.

Neo is from greek meaning "new" while natal is from latin (natalis) meaning birth or to be born.
Literally translated: neonatal = new birth, or newborn.
