"my baby is 38 weeks old" sounded weird to me.... lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-weeks-old#post-2265815 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 09:13:10 +0000 winniebee 2265815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rattles: same </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-weeks-old#post-2265776 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 08:27:58 +0000 Alivoo01 2265776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went by weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-weeks-old#post-2265702 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 06:32:12 +0000 Adira 2265702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rattles: Same! Weeks until 12 weeks (especially because 12 weeks was the end of my maternity leave), and then months after that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-weeks-old#post-2265697 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 06:10:37 +0000 mrsjyw 2265697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am still mentally aware of weeks (5 on Wednesday) but am officially going by the month! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-weeks-old#post-2265675 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 03:23:13 +0000 Pumuckl 2265675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did the same as @youboots: and @rattles:<br /> Weeks for the fourth trimester and months after that. Now at 7 months I have no idea how many weeks she is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-weeks-old#post-2265635 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 23:48:25 +0000 QBbride 2265635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always gone by months. I'm far too lazy to keep track of weeks! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-weeks-old#post-2265634 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 23:47:34 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2265634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pay attention to both. But when other people ask, I give her age in months because no one but me really cares about the exact number of weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-weeks-old#post-2265628 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 23:11:05 +0000 youboots 2265628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rattles: same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-weeks-old#post-2265624 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 22:48:02 +0000 MamaCate 2265624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ldh112: So both are true. She is 8 weeks old today but 2 months on Monday. I counted weeks because I liked too but gave her age in months after 2 months because no one else really cares that much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-weeks-old#post-2265617 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 22:31:28 +0000 rattles 2265617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went by weeks until 12 weeks and then switched to months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-weeks-old#post-2265599 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 21:36:27 +0000 jh524 2265599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ldh112: I also remember questioning this when my lo was a infant! I went by weeks. On August 24th she'll be 2 months but almost 10 weeks. I think it's just up to you and whatever you prefer.. I may have followed weeks because I also watched milestones, leaps and such... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-weeks-old#post-2265598 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 21:35:44 +0000 blackbird 2265598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The day of the month, not by weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-weeks-old#post-2265592 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 21:24:28 +0000 ldh112 2265592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter was born Wednesday, June 24th. Theoretically, she will be 8 weeks old this Wednesday, but the 24th isn't until Monday (two full months). What do you go off of in determining your baby's age? :) </p>
