📘 About the Corrected Age
A baby born early is developmentally 'younger' than their birthday suggests. Corrected age (also called adjusted age) is the age the baby would be if born on the due date: actual age minus the weeks born early.
Doctors use corrected age for growth charts, developmental milestones and starting solids until about age 2, by which time most premature babies have caught up. Vaccinations follow actual age.
🧮 Formula
✏️ Worked examples
Born at 32 weeks on 1 June 2026, age on 1 October 2026
You get| Corrected (adjusted) age | 9 weeks 3 days |
| Actual (chronological) age | 4 months 0 days |
| Born early by | 8 weeks 0 days |
| Original due date | Mon, 27 Jul 2026 |
| Prematurity category | Moderately preterm (32–33 weeks) |
| Use corrected age until | Thu, 27 Jul 2028 (age 2 corrected) |
Corrected age 9 weeks 3 days; actual age 4 months 0 days.

How do I calculate corrected age?
Subtract the weeks born early from the actual age. A baby born at 32 weeks (8 weeks early) who is 20 weeks old has a corrected age of 12 weeks.
Until what age do you use corrected age?
Usually until 2 years (sometimes 3 for babies born before 28 weeks).
Do premature babies get vaccines by corrected age?
No — vaccines are given by actual (chronological) age.
What counts as premature?
Birth before 37 weeks: late preterm 34–36, moderately preterm 32–33, very preterm 28–31 and extremely preterm before 28 weeks.
