Is a month four weeks or a month?

[GreenPenguin]

DS is 28 weeks - born late April. Does that make him 7, or 6 and a half months? Not that it matters, but non-parents who ask don't want weeks, they want months, iyswim.

After the first 12 weeks, I did it by the date of the month. EG, ds was born on the 26th July, so on the 26th May he was 10 mths.

....so in answer to your question, 6.5, although for strangers, 6 mths would suffice.

A month is month. Thats it really.

I used to count in weeks til 5 months then just went by the date every month.

A month is 4.3333333333 (and so on) weeks, so I used to say weeks up to about 20 weeks, then I just plain forgot how many weeks he was ... tired? Moi? And then I went by months according to the day of the month he was born, ie ds was born on the 13th September so he'll be 14 months next week.
