Help answer this question below.

Why do some mothers state their babies age in months when they are over a year old? Example my cousin said her baby was 22 months old instead of a year and 10 months.

    To me, it is because it is the 'norm'. Children under two are developing very rapidly and a month can make a huge difference. It is often easier to remember how many months your child is. Once a child is two, most stop going by month, when proclaiming 'age'.

    I will also note that, at least in the US, children's clothing (up to size 2) is sized by 'months', as in 12 mos, 18 mos, etc.
