>Question:  Is there a specific "age" related to the
definition of newborn (in other words, is this the
first 4 weeks of life)?  Is there a specific "age"
related to the definition of infant (lets say up to 6
months of age)?  Is there a specific "age" related to
the definition of baby (lets say after 6 months)?<

The Global Strategy for Infant and Young Child Feeding is so called becasue
'infant' is defined as a child up to the age of 2, whereas the strategy
covers a longer period.  This is what I remember being told at the UK
Governement Dept of Health day in May from Randeh Saadev from WHO.
