This formula converts the time difference between the current date and the baby's birth date into weeks. The result is rounded to the nearest whole number for simplicity.
Example Calculation
Let's say your baby was born on January 15, 2023, and today is March 15, 2023. Here's how the calculation works:
Birth Date: January 15, 2023
Current Date: March 15, 2023
Time Difference: 60 days
Baby Age in Weeks: 60 / 7 ≈ 8.57 weeks
Rounded Result: 9 weeks
So, your baby would be approximately 9 weeks old on March 15, 2023.
