Adjusted Age Calculator for Premature Babies
Work out your premature baby corrected age, the age adjusted for how early they were born, which pediatricians use to set fair expectations for milestones, feeding and growth in the first two years. A baby born eight weeks early will often reach developmental steps roughly eight weeks later than their calendar age suggests, so comparing them against full term charts by chronological age can cause needless worry. This tool takes your baby birth date and how many weeks premature they were, then subtracts that prematurity from the actual age to give the corrected age in months and weeks. Enter the birth date and weeks early to see both the chronological and adjusted ages side by side. Correction is typically applied until about age two, when most preemies have caught up. Everything is calculated in your browser, and this is general information, not medical advice. Your pediatrician will guide how long to keep adjusting.

Frequently asked questions
What is corrected age for a premature baby?
It is the age adjusted for how early the baby arrived, found by subtracting the weeks born early from the actual age, so milestones are judged fairly.
Why use adjusted age at all?
A baby born eight weeks early is developmentally about eight weeks behind their birthday age, so corrected age gives a truer basis for tracking growth and milestones.
How long is correction used?
Correction usually matters most through about the first two years, after which the gap becomes small enough that most children catch up to actual age.
