An "infant" is a young baby that's under about a year old.

Parents don't usually call their kids "my infant". They usually call them "my son", "my daughter", or "my baby". But when you're talking to a doctor, you may want to specify that your child is an infant, since health problems for infants are very different from those that older children have.
