Baby age and development milestones
Developmental charts and vaccine schedules usually reference age in weeks or months completed. If your baby was born preterm, clinicians may use “corrected age” for milestones for a period of time—ask your paediatrician how they prefer you to track age.
Accuracy tips
Use the birth date exactly as recorded on the birth certificate or hospital discharge summary for consistency. If your baby was born shortly before midnight, confirm which calendar day was registered locally.
