    Time and the person using the term.  Infancy stops at 1 year, but being a "baby" can go on for a lifetime (but physically stops at 4 years).

    I agree and at 4, they become toddlers.  After that, they're mostly just pains in the neck. :)  (Just kidding!)

    They are pains until they leave the house. This post was edited by Element 99 at July 14, 2021 10:14 AM MDT

    According to the definitions, infants range from Birth to one year.  While Baby can include birth to 4 years depending on the source you use to look up the definition. This post was edited by ONeg-84 at July 13, 2021 7:15 PM MDT
