Formula Used
The calculation is based on the difference between the current date and the baby's birth date. The formula used is:

Weeks = Total Days / 7
This formula accounts for the varying number of days in each month and provides an accurate representation of your baby's age.
Worked Examples
Example 1: Baby Born on January 1, 2023
If your baby was born on January 1, 2023, and today is May 1, 2023:
- Total days: 121 days
- Months: 4 (121 ÷ 30.44 ≈ 4)
- Weeks: 17 (121 ÷ 7 ≈ 17)
Your baby is 4 months and 17 weeks old.
Example 2: Baby Born on June 15, 2023
If your baby was born on June 15, 2023, and today is October 15, 2023:
- Total days: 122 days
- Months: 4 (122 ÷ 30.44 ≈ 4)

Your baby is 4 months and 17 weeks old.
