HOW many times have you had to do quick maths when a parent has told you their child's age in months? Well, heres why that is the case.
Liz Short, a mother to two 1-year-olds has shared why mothers use months to described their child's age rather than go by years.
In the TikTok video which has racked up 1 million views, the young mum shows her two children at home, without giving their age in months and says they are both one.
She said: "This is a video for everyone who hates on moms who say their babies age in months.
"This is my one-year-old," she said as she showed her little girl standing next to her in a pink top, skirt and ponytails as she began to say hi to the camera.

Liz, who has 218.5k followers on TikTok then held her other baby on her lap and said: "This is my other one-year-old" as the baby held her mothers face and faced the camera.
"Here are my one-year-olds side by side," she said as she showed the two playing on the floor, sat next to each other for comparison.
The two girls looked like completely different ages as one is much taller than the other and is at a different development stage than her younger sibling.
The girls father, Codie, is often away as he works in the military, meaning he missed the birth of his youngest daughter.
"So the reason we talk about them in months instead of years is that THIS one- year-old is planning world domination," she said as she showed her older child standing up and playing.
"And this one just cares about cuddles," she explained as she showed her younger baby sitting on the floor smiling sweetly.
Keeping it simple, Liz's bottom line was: "So when we break it down in months, we refer to the cuddle stage," as she showed her youngest.
"Or world domination stage," as she showed her older child playing, or planning how to take over the world.
As they approach the 'terrible twos' tantrums, disagreements and trouble often develops as a child gets to grips with the world and their environment.
