I obviously know when she was born but people have counted her 'months' in different ways I don't know which way is correct and it's driving me crazy!
She was born on 31.05.16 (which was a Tuesday if that is at all important)
So that means she will be exactly 17 weeks old tomorrow. If anyone asks how old she is I still say xx weeks because I know the GP and HV still use weeks up until she is a year but all the milestone charts seem to be in 'months' and I'm trying to work out if she is on target with development.
There seems to be 2 ways that people have been working out her age.
- by the number of weeks (eg. 1 month = 4 weeks) so at 16 weeks that would make her 4months old regardless of the date that day falls on.
- by the date in the calender month (so every 31st of the month she is a month older) which would mean by that method she isn't 4 months until 30th Sept/1st Oct.
Which method is correct??
I have asked several mum friends in RL but they've each said different things! I am the only one to be baffled by this?? AIBU to feel like a total idiot?!
