How to Use the Baby Weeks Calculator
Using our baby weeks calculator is simple. Just enter your baby's birth date and the current date, then click "Calculate" to see the exact number of weeks your baby has been alive.

Tracking Development
Each week brings new milestones. Our calculator helps you track these important developmental stages, from the first smile to crawling and walking.
Baby Development by Week
Babies develop rapidly during their first year. Here's a general timeline of key milestones:
| Weeks | Development Milestones |
|---|---|
| 0-4 | Growth in the womb, rapid brain development |
| 4-8 | First smile, hand movements, hearing |
| 8-12 | First laugh, head control, reaching for objects |
| 12-16 | Sitting with support, babbling, social smiling |
| 16-20 | Rolling over, first words, crawling |
| 20-24 | Standing with support, first steps, object permanence |
Remember that every baby develops at their own pace. Some milestones may come earlier or later than the average timeline.
