I have always wondered why we use month’s to describe a baby’s age but from what I have experienced this stops when they are 2 years old, why? Is this the same all around the world? I am from Australia.
Edit: Hi all I have read through the comments and would just like to add this here as I have replied to one post and don’t want to put it on all comments
Yes I completely understand this and why medical practitioners use it, but why then is it used in everyday context, for example when you meet other people with babies under 2 the say it in months all the time, nothing to do with milestones or anything like that, so I mean in a social situation, hope this helps you understand where I am coming from.

Because months are used as benchmarks for development. By month 7 babies start to roll over on their own, at 9, they should start crawling and may begin to speak their first words and start walking at 12 months.
