Ferroptosis is a novel type of programmed cell death involved in many diseases' pathological processes. Ferroptosis is characterized by lipid peroxidation, reactive oxygen species accumulation, and iron metabolism disorder. Newborns are susceptible to ferroptosis due to their special physiological state, which is prone to abnormal iron metabolism and the accumulation of reactive oxygen species. Recent studies have linked ferroptosis to a variety of diseases in the neonatal period (including hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and necrotizing enterocolitis). Ferroptosis may become an effective target for the treatment of neonatal-related diseases. In this review, the ferroptosis molecular mechanism, metabolism characteristics of iron and reactive oxygen species in infants, the relationship between ferroptosis and common infant disorders, and the treatment of infant diseases targeted for ferroptosis are systematically summarized.
