why do we refer to infants above a year in months?

For example we refer to infants over a year as 13 months, 16 months, 24 months, etc. Is there a reason for this convention?

Because they’re developing so fast that it’s still very helpful to break their age down by month. Once they get older, the rate of change shows down, so it’s more practical to just describe their age in years.
