..do you count in lunar months (i.e. 24 weeks is 6 months) or calendar months? I'm confused!

calendar if baby

but if you're still counting in months at approaching 2 years (ie 22 / 23 months) then stop because you'll sound like a twat

I just think it does

because they're old enough to count in years and it sounds like the parent is not willing to move on to the next stage and is clinging on to 'oh what an ickle baby month counting' rather than the fact that this toddler is 2

...

I do know I'm not alone in thinking this if it helps

i went by calender but ds is over 2 now so i jusy say he is 2 dont give months unless someone asks

Twiglett · 29/09/2007 17:06

20 months is just about ok

22 months is really nearly 2 but at a stretch ok

24 months / 25 months etc is twatish IMHO
