Formula & Theory — Baby Age Calculator
diffYMD(birth, target) → { years, months, days }
totalDays = floor((target − birth) / 86400000)
totalWeeks = floor(totalDays / 7)
totalMonths = years × 12 + months
nextMonth = next occurrence of birth.day in target.year-target.month+
nextBirthday = next occurrence of (birth.month, birth.day) ≥ target
correctedAge = diffYMD(dueDate, target) (when dueDate is provided)| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| birth | Birth date |
| target | Calculation date |
| dueDate | Original expected due date (optional) |
| totalMonths | Calendar months since birth |
The Baby Age Calculator uses the same calendar arithmetic everywhere, so monthiversary dates align with the birth day-of-month.
