okay, here's a silly question about determining exactly how old my baby is. we went to the pedi for her 4 month shots on friday, may 25th. i was asking how accurate the percentiles are for height and weight since she's actually 18 weeks (4 1/2 months). they told me that they don't determine the age that way, they go from the date they were born...say the 16th, to the 16th of the next month. she was born on january 16th, so to me, she's exactly 19 weeks today.
the reason i'm asking is because they told me not to start cereal and solids until closer to 6 months, which according to them would be july 16th, but according to me, would be july 3rd. i know it's not much of a difference but i'm just wondering how other moms determine their baby's age. it makes me wonder how those books on baby development determine ages too.
