📖 How It Works

What Is Corrected Age?

Corrected (adjusted) age subtracts the weeks your baby was born early from their chronological age.

Weeks Early

Weeks early is the gap between the actual birth date and the due date.

Worked Example

A baby born 8 weeks early at a chronological age of 4 months has a corrected age of about 2 months.

Until Age Two

Pediatricians and the AAP recommend using corrected age for milestones, growth, and early vaccines until about 24 months.

ðŸ’Ą Why It Matters

ðŸ‘ķ Standard Practice

Corrected age is the AAP-recommended method for evaluating a premature baby's development.

ðŸŽŊ Less Worry

Comparing a preemie with full-term peers causes needless anxiety — corrected age gives a fair baseline.

ðŸĐš Better Tracking

Growth charts and milestone checklists line up far better when you use the corrected age.
