Formula Used

The calculator determines your baby's age by comparing the current date with the birth date. The calculation is based on the following steps:

1. Calculate the difference in days between the current date and birth date.

2. Convert the total days into years, months, and remaining days.

3. Calculate weeks from the remaining days after years and months.

This approach provides a complete age breakdown that's easy to understand and interpret.

Worked Example

Let's say your baby was born on January 15, 2023. If today is June 10, 2024:

Calculation Step	Result
Total days between dates	510 days
Years	1 year (365 days)
Months	4 months (124 days)
Weeks	2 weeks (14 days)
Days	0 days

So your baby would be 1 year, 4 months, 2 weeks old.
