When do you stop saying baby's age in months?

I met someone last night that said her daughter was 28 months. Couldn't she have just said 2 1/2? When do you stop saying your baby's age in months?

Re: When do you stop saying baby's age in months?

i am not there yet but i would assume that once my dd is year i will say "oh she turned a year in september" .Assumng the question is asked shortly after her bitrthday.After that i will probobly say she is 1 1/2 years or she will be 1 1/2 years in March or she will be two in September. i think people can do the math LOL

Re: When do you stop saying baby's age in months?

I would think after 2 years, it is no longer necessary.

I stopped when Michael was 2. A lot of people do it so that it doesn't seem like they are growing up so fast. When he was 25/26 months, I still said months, but now I say he's almost 2.5.

Re: When do you stop saying baby's age in months?

I imagine I'll stop when she is a little over 18 months. For example, I can't picture myself saying "She is 22 months". I'll probably just say she'll be 2 in April. After that, it will just be by year (maybe I'll add the 1/2 when appropriate).

I started around 2. I either say he is 2 or he turned 2 in February.

Once they turn two I stop using months.

At about 2 years old.

I met a couple out shopping for their grandkids and they told me the kids were 32 and 46 months. I was thinking to myself why didn't they just say 3 and 4 years old

Re: When do you stop saying baby's age in months?

I think somewhere between 18 months and 2 years. After 2, half-years are OK for a while. Probably throughout school. 12 1/2 is still OK to say.

Re: When do you stop saying baby's age in months?

I would say after age 2.

Re: When do you stop saying baby's age in months?

I'm stopping after he turns 2. I've already started saying "he'll be 2 in July" instead of 22 months (which he turned yesterday )

I asked this question to one of the children's librarians in the library where I work and she said 3 years is usually when most people stop.

She explained that there are a lot of developmental milestone each month and that is why we use months and not years until they reach a certain age.

At a year.

Then they're"

- a little over a year
- a year & a half
- they'll be 2 in a few months
- They're 2.

UGH! I HATE that too! Someone once said I have a five year old and a 37 month old to me!

Re: When do you stop saying baby's age in months?

Two....someone once told me their little girl was 32 months. I was like...what the heck is that?? Why do I have to do math to figure out how old your child is?
