Corrected Age Calculator (Premature Babies)
Chronological vs corrected age for preemies — the adjustment every milestone chart silently assumes.
A baby born at 32 weeks who is now 4 months old develops like a 2-month-old — and that is exactly on schedule. Paediatricians correct milestones until age 2 (some to 3 for very early arrivals); growth charts get plotted at corrected age too. Vaccines are the exception: they follow chronological age unchanged.
