    It depends on whether you choose to give her age as weeks, or months.
    There are just over 4 weeks in a month, so over time they do differ - 4 months is not 16 weeks, more like 18 and a half.

    FWIW I used weeks until we got to about 20-odd weeks, then it got too hard to keep track - now I go by months, so she is 6 months - but if I chose to use weeks, I would have to count them, and that's too hard

    Someone told me (can't remember if it was a MCHN or not, I think it was one) after 3 months (date wise) to count in months and not the weeks. Dunno if that helps.

    I counted her age in weeks until I forgot what week she was up to, was too hard to count back and figure it out so I just went by months
    I figure after about 12 weeks counting by weeks isn't that important anyway...but yeah it is weird and confusing!

    About 4 months we started to go by months (as like the others I started to lose track of how many weeks we were up to)
