How many months is my baby?

So me and my boyfriend always argue about how old our baby is. She was born august 3rd would you guys count every 3rd as a month or every 4 weeks that passed a month?

Hey there! Since she’ll be one year old on Aug 3rd, I’d count every third of the month! If not, our birthdays would be all over the place!

@Kristy that’s a good point. We are only doing months for the first year so when I count every 4 weeks it was only off by one day instead of the 3rd it was the 2nd

@Kristy maybe I miss counted tho lol

@Shirley Devora you’re off by a day because this year was a leap year and next year is not. It’s best to go by august 3, September 3 and so on because not every month is exactly 4 weeks. If you counted every 4 weeks you’d end up with 13 months and we don’t have 13 months in one year. Hope that makes sense!

@Ellie Balzer ah ok that does make sense

If you do every 4 weeks there will be 13 months in your year because there are 52 weeks in a year (4x 13 = 52). Each month is not exactly 4 weeks. 4 x 7 days = 28. All months but February are 30 or 31. So your baby is the next month every 3rd of the month, not every 4 weeks. Hope that helps!
