My DS is 24weeks on Friday and although 24wks make 6months does that mean he'll be 6months old in 3 days or is it on 28th Nov (he was born 28th May)? I have been so used to counting weeks and i'm not sure when i'll start counting in months, perhaps this Friday :)
I know it doesn't really matter but i'm curious and wonder which date other parents used to mark 6months.
Like i say ask a silly question...

26 weeks are six months - months are not 4 weeks long (well Feb is, but the rest aren't)

I'd say on 28th Nov. But, that's just my way.

I never thought about not all months being 4weeks KatyMac you're absolutely right. I guess he's 24 weeks until a few weeks time.
I think I'll choose the 28th too WowOoo.

Doesn't make a huge difference to anything developmentally but technically he'll be 6 months on the 28th - if you did it in weeks you'd be celebrating his 1st birthday just a day too soon!
