My baby is 11 month old or is he? He was born on sept 25th 06, Its been 344 days since he was born, which makes him 12 months already! This is really weird, this means that we are all older then we think we are! It is odd cause when a baby is first born, thier age is counted in weeks/months, but like i said if we still counted our age in weeks we are actually older and our birthdays would be on a different date each yr! Am i right or is there something im missing? lol

this is a trick of where to start counting...
bankers love this sort of thing...
we don't start counting the months until the last day of the first month has passed, as a result it is not until your child has entered his 12th month of existence (measured from his first day out of the womb) that you call him/her 11 months old...
yes i have considered this... it is a huge deal in actuarial mathematics and plays an enormous role in the calculation if interest...
and if you think that is strange...
koreans start counting age from the moment of conception... so the day you are born they count you as one year old (although i have argued with several that gestation is 9 months-they say 10-and even if it were 10 this is still not one year)

There are actually 30.4 days each month when averaged out over 12 months at this average at 344 days the child is 11.30 months old, not 12 as you calculated.
You either say a year has 13 months of 28 days or 12 months of 30.4 days, you cant mix the two which you are doing
I am not taking into account the fraction of a day which makes up the leap year to keep it simpler.

Yes, he is 11 months old. We are not older than we think we are. We count it in weeks/months because they are not a yr yet. A year is from sept 25th 06 to sept 25th 07

You son is 11 months old. On September 25 he would be 12 months but he would consider there has 1 year old. Nobody birthday is different date each year at all. It the day he is born on September it would be like the rest of his life.

Yes i found the same thing, i was telling people how old my baby was and they were confused, i counted it in weeks whilst they did it by the same date every month from when the baby was born, so sometimes my baby would be the same age as an older one and their mother would be like erm ok your counting wrong lol I felt like an idiot, but i don't think im wrong.

I think you are missing the fact that while there are only 4 FULL weeks in a month, there are also several extra days. It comes out to 13 full weeks in 3 months. Same thing confuses a lot of women that insist on counting pregnancy by months.

He is 11 months because 344 days is 11 months not 12, 365 days is 12.
I think you're looking to much into it.
Your birthday is on the same day everyear because the year is a pattern.

Maybe its because in some months there is 30 days, others there are 31 days and in leap years 28. Maybe they all add up some how :S:S

Something is missing in your math. He would only be 12 months old already if the calendar YOU are going by only has 28.6 days in every month.
Re-check your division, dear.

Confused?... you might be... but it could be worse if you were Chinese as they count your age from conception... so most of us would be over 9 months old when we are born !!
