Hi Mamas! My daughter was born on the 13th of May, today she turned 20 weeks old and up until now I have been calculating her age once every 4 weeks goes by she has turned one month older. Until yesterday when my boyfriend questioned it 😄
Is she now 5 months old or not until the 13th October? I feel so silly and confused! Has anyone else made this mistake?
Thank you!

Every time your child gets to the 13th of each month, your child is an extra month old. There aren’t only 4 weeks in every month. Don’t worry about the weeks now, they’re clearly confusing . Just go by the months now

We are the 12th May and he shall be 5 months on the 12th October. All gets very confusing, we now go by months as the weeks make him sound older than he is x

You go by the date not by weeks when saying they are xx months old .

My girl was born 13th may too so every Saturday she is a week older so today she is 20 weeks but not 5 months until 13th october
Thanks so much everyone!

It's weird because they use 4 weeks = a month in pregnancy, but it'd be every 13th, otherwise she'd be 13 months on her first birthday 😅
