How Baby Age Calculation Works
The calculator determines your baby's age by comparing the birth date with the current date. Here's how the calculation works:
Formula:
Age = Current Date - Birth Date
The result is then broken down into years, months, weeks, and days.
For example, if your baby was born on January 1, 2023, and today is March 15, 2023, the calculation would be:
Example:
Current Date: March 15, 2023
