Eeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-tell-how-old-a-babytoddler-is-by-looking-at-himher#post-103223 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 16:05:52 +0000 SAHM0811 103223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can tell with toddlers by how they act. Recently, a girl at LO's school was giving her mom such a hard time about putting her jacket on... I guessed she was in her 2's and I was right! Haha. With babies, I go by their observable milestones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-tell-how-old-a-babytoddler-is-by-looking-at-himher#post-103139 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 14:54:14 +0000 sulli301 103139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: I do this too!! I always guesstimate &amp; am so far off I can't even hardly believe it! I am thinking it'll get easier as LO gets older but maybe not </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-tell-how-old-a-babytoddler-is-by-looking-at-himher#post-103079 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 14:07:21 +0000 Lozza 103079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm really good at guessing baby/toddler ages +/- 2 years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-tell-how-old-a-babytoddler-is-by-looking-at-himher#post-103070 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 13:47:55 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 103070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: Lala was 19 lbs at 9 months and then she didn't gain another pound for months. As soon as she became mobile, her weight just plateaued. We're not too worried about her but she is tiny! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-tell-how-old-a-babytoddler-is-by-looking-at-himher#post-103038 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 13:22:56 +0000 tequiero21 103038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope. i can't tell at all. i'm horrible. hopefully, i'll get better when i have little ones of my own. my husband guesses by milestones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-tell-how-old-a-babytoddler-is-by-looking-at-himher#post-103036 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 13:21:50 +0000 Rubies 103036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can never tell! It's terrible! Before I ask, I guess in my head and I'm always waaay off! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-tell-how-old-a-babytoddler-is-by-looking-at-himher#post-103035 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 13:21:20 +0000 autumnlove 103035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all! I think 3-4 year olds are 6-7! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-tell-how-old-a-babytoddler-is-by-looking-at-himher#post-103031 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 13:17:39 +0000 Mrsbells 103031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>it is hard to tell unless I actually interact with the child. Just by looking it can be hard because some kids are giants and others are really small for their size. Some are skinny even though they are young and some have really chubby faces. But I interact with them I can tell right away what age range they are in based on how they respond </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-tell-how-old-a-babytoddler-is-by-looking-at-himher#post-103029 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 13:15:14 +0000 joyjoy 103029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can never tell. I always have to ask. Just the other week, a friend brought her nephew to church. All the kids were outside playing, and I saw the little boy playing with my friend's two year old daughter. They were about the same size, and seemed to be enjoying each others company. I commented to my friend about how they got along so well and asked how old he was. She whispered, "Ssshhh. He's five!" I did not expect that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-tell-how-old-a-babytoddler-is-by-looking-at-himher#post-102976 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 12:35:19 +0000 heffalump 102976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Lol, I knew my LO was big, but wow. She isn't crawling yet, hopefully when that happens she'll slow down on the weight gain. I'm worried she won't fit into her OS cloth diapers when she's a toddler! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-tell-how-old-a-babytoddler-is-by-looking-at-himher#post-102964 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 12:26:14 +0000 lilteacherbee 102964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not really good with babies, but I can tell (with pretty good accuracy) the ages of toddlers on up to 4-5 year olds. I've worked in daycares and preschools for a few years now, so I've gotten good at deciphering ages. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-tell-how-old-a-babytoddler-is-by-looking-at-himher#post-102957 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 12:19:52 +0000 HabesBabe 102957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so so so bad at it. I just know when they're older than 3-4 months because they start looking like cute babies around that time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-tell-how-old-a-babytoddler-is-by-looking-at-himher#post-102954 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 12:17:37 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 102954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mostly yes, but with the little ones the milestones help a lot. I feel like I have a weird sixth sense with babies though; I've always been able to "get" them even before I had my own LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-tell-how-old-a-babytoddler-is-by-looking-at-himher#post-102950 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 12:11:34 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 102950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: My daughter is 23 lbs and 22 months old! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-tell-how-old-a-babytoddler-is-by-looking-at-himher#post-102948 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 12:11:10 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 102948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a pretty well developed sense since I see so many kids at work. Occasionally there will be an outlier that throws me off. Some kids just look older or younger than their actual age (it's not about their milestones for me)... but that doesn't happen too often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-tell-how-old-a-babytoddler-is-by-looking-at-himher#post-102942 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 12:08:06 +0000 heffalump 102942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way. LO is a big girl (22 1/2 lbs at 8 months and pretty tall) so we always see babies smaller then her doing lots of milestones that she hasn't hit yet. I'm assuming they're older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-tell-how-old-a-babytoddler-is-by-looking-at-himher#post-102939 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 12:06:31 +0000 Andrea 102939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it is hard to tell and there is such a big height and weight range. The other day a girl the same height as my LO came up to us and I found out she is 3 and the LO is almost 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-tell-how-old-a-babytoddler-is-by-looking-at-himher#post-102929 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 11:58:42 +0000 Mrs. Bee 102929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In pictures, it's really hard to tell. But in person, I think I have a general idea. Charlie is 27 months and the baby-ness in his face is disappearing. I've noticed that kids just 3 months younger look younger than him, so I use him as a guideline.</p> <p>With babies, sometimes it's hard to tell because some are so chubby! But I guess it's easy to tell based on whether or not they're sitting up or crawling!</p> <p>Can you tell? </p>
