For NICU & preemie parents
Your baby arrived early. The milestone charts didn't get the memo.
Corrected age accounts for prematurity — it's the age your baby would be if they'd arrived on their due date. The standard charts still apply, read at corrected age instead of the birthday. We built tools that do that math for you.
Example · born 11 weeks early
On the calendar
16 weeks old
Counted from the birth date
Adjusted age
5 weeks old
Use this for milestones
Milestones are judged against the 5-week timeline, not 16. That's why the standard charts made our son look “behind.”
