it meets the definition on the minutes to hours basis.

a fully grown sapient human with experience and valuable expertise who is otherwise ready and able to immediately benefit their community, if "left to their own devices" naked on the surface of the moon, will also die in moments. However, with the use of equipment, with the ability to depend on machinery to survive instead of the active blood supply of another sapient being, such a human can survive.

similarly, a neonate can survive with the aid of equipment without burdening a single exclusive host.

Agreed, a neonate can certainly survive longer than a fetus without support.
