The newborn's lungs move through important changes from birth to 2 years of age. The proper fetal period of lung development, with the end being the saccular stage, is close to 6 months of age, and the alveolar-arterial ratio of 20:1 in the newborn changes to 12:1 at 2 years of age, which is closer to the ratio for older children of 10:1.
