Formula Used

Worked Example
Let's say your baby was born on January 15, 2023, and today is March 15, 2023.
Calculation: (March 15, 2023 - January 15, 2023) = 59 days
59 days ÷ 7 = 8.428 weeks
Your baby is approximately 8 weeks and 3 days old.
This example shows how the calculator works in practice.
