Why months, not years
In the first years of life, months are the unit that matters: a "19-month-old" is very different from a "1-year-old". The counter above shows your total complete months since birth — computed from real calendar months, so it agrees with how pediatric growth charts count.
Below the headline number you also get the exact years-months-days view, so you can see precisely where the month count lands on the calendar.
How the month count works
A complete month is counted only when a full calendar month has elapsed — from the 15th of one month to the 15th of the next, for example. Partial months are not rounded up: the leftover days are shown separately in the years-months-days line, which is exactly how doctors split age into months and days for infants.
