What is the correct age??

hi

My baby is now one month and nearly one week old ,at first it was days,then weeks and now on the 16th of every month I will count the new month.and will add how many weeks.

Just like Julz i hated it when people referred to pregnancy in weeks, until i fell pregnant. Even then depending on who i was speaking to i would say months or weeks.

When my LB arrived i referred to weeks until he was 8 weeks then i changed to months. It depends on you how you want to refer to them,

Before I was preggy I hated women referring to pregnancy in weeks as I was clueless. It made more sense when I was pregnant.

After the birth I used weeks until after his vaccinations. I would just say 3 months or 3 and a half months.

I still count in months so he is 16 months. Will change when he is two. If kiddies ask I just say he is 1.

I tend to talk in months. After her first month bday she turns a month older after the 31st of each month, so she's 8 and a half months now

I think it makes sense to talk in weeks while pregnant and when baby is less than a year. But after 1yr we tend to change and count in years

Don't think there is any "right" or "wrong" way, but I have heard people saying weeks up until about 4/5 months, then switching to months. Both ways work really

Good day ladies,

I have a question that I wanted to ask a long time ago…

When we are pregnant we talk in “WEEKS”… “Iam am 36 weeks pregnant”.

It is just easier that way and makes more sence!

But how do you talk after the baby has been born?

In the beginning you obviously talk in weeks, but after she reached her one month birth anniversary you start talking in months (CALENDER MONTHS THAT IS).

If you talk in calender months your baby is always a a week or two younger than he/she would be when talking in weeks (4 weeks equals a month)

So which is the correct way of talking about your baby’s age?
