It is incredibly stupid to use a smaller time marker when referring to a baby/toddler's age.
I just saw video of a mom referring to her almost 1 year old as a "38 week old". Or when parents say "oh they are 24 months". They are 2. Just say 2. No need to tell me how many months. As soon as they hit 1 year the month time marker shouldn't be used. Same with weeks. Your baby is 12 weeks old? Say 3 months. No need to overcomplicate.
Edit for all the triggered parents: random people do not care about your baby enough that the differences in development between, let's say, a 4 week old (one month) and a 6 week old (one month), requires clarification.
Edit 2: this is for all the ones giving the explanation for it. I know the explanation, even before posting this. I still think outside of medical or family talk, it is unessessary to provide your child's exact age.
