When you talk months you are talking day to day. If he was born on the 12th, he will be one month old on the next month's 12th, and two months old on the next month's 12th, all the way up to September 12th of next year when he will be one year old on that 12th.
If you are talking weeks count how many Tuesday passed since the first one when he was born. That is not as useful when he gets a little older because no one talks weeks except about tiny babies. Stick with months and years.

I had the same question and it was explained to me like this: There aren't always exactly 4 weeks in a month -- so you can call his/her age by literal weeks OR if you want to use months then go with the same day of the month baby was born on. I hope that makes sense -- I tried to set my son's 3 month dr appt when he was 12 weeks and they told me he had to wait about 1.5 weeks longer (I felt stupid especially since I was a nurse)..... He was born April 10th and will be six months old tomorrow -- October 10th.

I was always curious about that too with my son. I finally decided that I had to go by either months or weeks. He is 4 weeks (which is only 28 days, remember) on Tuesday, but is 1 month (which is generally 30/31 days) on the 12th. Clear as mud, huh? It really just depends on how you look at it, so relax. I finally decided at that stage of son's life that it just wasn't a big deal.

He'll be a month old on the 12th (from September 12-October 12) because you're counting the days of the whole month. Your son will be four weeks old tomorrow on October 10th because you will have counted twenty-eight days. Congratulations!

On the 12th he will be 30 days. On the 10th he would be 4 weeks.

First you do the weeks, and then when October 12th comes along you call that 1 month old and go from there.

he is a month old on the 12th. he is 4 weeks old on the 10th. if you think about, there are 52 weeks in a year. and 12 months x 4 weeks is only 48. so we would have 13 months if we went by weeks. seems wierd that there is a whole extra month in a year!

If he was born on the 12th then you will go up a month in age on every 12th of each month. For example on Oct 12 he will be 1 month and on Nov 12 he will be 2 months.
Congrats!

I was doing that with my daughter and it did get confusing but your right he will be a month on the fourth week of this due date the 12th does not fall on a Tues all the time. so I just stopped after 3 months and now i just go by the day she was born. so what ever you decide is fine.
