(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Infant comes from the Latin in-fans, meaning unable to speak. It is commonly used as a slightly more formal word for baby (the youngest category of child). A newborn baby is known as a neonate.
Infant mortality is the death of infants in the first year of life. Major causes of infant mortality include congenital malformation, infection and SIDS. Neonatal mortality is a subcategory which only includes deaths in the first 27 days of life. Post-neonatal death is a subcategory which only includes deaths after 28 days of life but before one year. "Infant mortality" can also refer to the high failure rate of newly manufactured mechanical or electrical equipment, see repair and maintenance. Infant mortality rate is the number of newborns dying under a year of age divided by the number of live births during the year. The infant mortality rate is also called the infant death rate. Infant mortality has significantly declined mainly due to improvements in basic health care, though high technology medical advances have also helped.
This epidemiological indicator is recognized as an important measure of the level of healthcare in a country because it is directly linked with the health status of infants, children, and pregnant women as well as access to medical care, socioeconomic conditions, and public health practices.
Feeding is done by breastfeeding or with special industrial milk, "infant formula". Babies have a sucking instinct allowing them to extract the milk from the nipples of the breasts or of the nipple of the baby bottle.
Breastfeeding provides babies with many natural immune substances and isolates the baby from most bacteria or other contaminations in the local water supply. Infant formula does not provide these immune substances and in places with poor quality water supply subjects the baby to disease which it would not be subjected to if breastfed. Public relations methods have been used to encourage the use of infant formula and increase profits for corporations which produce and sell the infant formula, despite negotiations between mothers' networks like Baby Milk Action, the World Health Organisation and corporations.
The annual worldwide death toll due to these public relations methods is estimated at about 1.5 million. [1]
Babies are incontinent, therefore diapers are used.
Babies can not walk, transport may be by perambulator (stroller) or on the back or in front in a special bag or cloth.
Unlike other people, babies often cry without apparent cause.
As is the case of most of other young children, the social presence of infants is different from that of adult individuals. They are usually treated as special persons. They may be the focus of attention. On the other hand, fees of transportation and entrance fees are often less or nothing, possibly with requirements about who guides them. One reason is that e.g. a baby is taken in an amusement park not to have fun, or in a museum not to watch the artwork, but because it can not be left at home.
The term infant is also used as formal term for minor, i.e. child in general.

| Croatian | Sada idi i udari na Amaleka, izvrši "herem", kleto uništenje, na njemu i na svemu što posjeduje; ne štedi ga, pobij muškarce i žene, djecu i dojenèad, goveda i ovce, deve i magarce!'" |
| Danish | Drag derfor hen og slå Amalek og læg Band på dem og på alt, hvad der tilhører dem; skån dem ikke, men dræb både Mænd og Kvinder, Børn og diende, Okser og Får, Kameler og Æsler!" |
| Dutch | Ga nu heen, en sla Amalek, en verban alles, wat hij heeft, en verschoon hem niet; maar dood van den man af tot de vrouw toe, van de kinderen tot de zuigelingen, van de ossen tot de schapen, van de kemelen tot de ezelen toe. |
| Finnish | Mene siis ja voita amalekilaiset, ja vihkikää tuhon omaksi kaikki, mitä heillä on; äläkä säästä heitä, vaan surmaa miehet ja naiset, lapset ja imeväiset, raavaat ja lampaat, kamelit ja aasit." |
| French | Va maintenant, frappe Amalek, et dévouez par interdit tout ce qui lui appartient; tu ne l`épargneras point, et tu feras mourir hommes et femmes, enfants et nourrissons, boeufs et brebis, chameaux et ânes. |

| Hungarian | Most azért menj el és verd meg Amáleket, és pusztítsátok el mindenét; és ne kedvezz néki, hanem öld meg mind a férfit, mind az asszonyt; mind a gyermeket, mind a csecsemõt; mind az ökröt, mind a juhot; mind a tevét, mind a szamarat. |
