Her birthday is the 11th, so now I am just telling people she is 7.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babys-age-weeks-vs-months#post-1179388 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 13:42:11 +0000 lawbee11 1179388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say months because I feel like people get confused when I say weeks (like they are counting in their head!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babys-age-weeks-vs-months#post-1179376 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 13:41:00 +0000 Running Elley 1179376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that I counted his age in weeks until 20-24 weeks. After that I just switched to months! I have noooo idea how many weeks he is right now lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babys-age-weeks-vs-months#post-1179370 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 13:39:44 +0000 Adira 1179370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did weeks until around 4 months and now I just do months, although I'll often say 7.5 months or something if he's in between. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babys-age-weeks-vs-months#post-1179367 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 13:39:15 +0000 illumina 1179367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends- if she is very close to the month point I'll give it in months. In all other cases I give the no. of weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babys-age-weeks-vs-months#post-1179362 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 13:38:38 +0000 MrsF 1179362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember my mom reminding me that a month doesn't have exactly 4 weeks in it. I had sort of forgotten! I realized I would have been saying that M was 12 months old when she was really only 11 months if I kept up counting that way. </p> <p>I think I started really thinking in months rather than weeks at about 4 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babys-age-weeks-vs-months#post-1179356 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 13:37:10 +0000 Beebug 1179356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once she got beyond 8w I said whatever month she was, or just over X months, I felt silly saying weeks once it got to a certain point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babys-age-weeks-vs-months#post-1179351 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 13:36:40 +0000 GrapeCrush 1179351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With mine I did until about 12 weeks. Then I just started using months. So now I just say DD is 3 months. And DS is 18 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babys-age-weeks-vs-months#post-1179342 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 13:35:32 +0000 Silva 1179342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did weeks until about 4 months when it stopped lining up. Now I do months. She is 6 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babys-age-weeks-vs-months#post-1179338 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 13:34:38 +0000 loveisstrange 1179338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did weeks until 6 months and we'll do months until 2. After that, she'll just go by years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babys-age-weeks-vs-months#post-1179337 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 13:34:18 +0000 Bookish 1179337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I answer with months because half the time I forget how many weeks she is ;) Plus, like you said, it doesn't line up! She's currently 17 weeks but won't be 4 months til next week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babys-age-weeks-vs-months#post-1179331 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 13:33:20 +0000 Alivoo01 1179331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you count your LO's age by weeks or by months since those two don't really line up? For instance, DS's birthday is July 19th. He'll be 15 weeks this Friday (15 weeks divided by avg. of 4 weeks per month = almost 4 months!), but month wise, he's just barely over 3 months. What age do you tell people when they ask how old your LO is? </p>
