Just wondering how they're calculated.
DD has some jabs tomorrow so I got out the red book. Looked at the growth charts idly as you do when your little pocket rocket only gains 1 lb a month no matter what and noticed that the month markers don't fall every 4 weeks. They're slightly longer.
Eg at 17 weeks I think of dd as 4 months old +, but in the red book she's only just getting there.
I suppose it only matters in terms of surveys. Even with weaning you'd be a week out max.
I can't tell from the graph exactly how many days in an nhs month.
Can anyone enlighten me?

Red book "months old" aren't 4 weeks?
