A baby born on Dec 31st is 1 year old, and the next day would be 2 years old ... A 2 day old baby would be considered 2 years old. Glad they decided that this was beyond odd.
My daughter was born at 22:30 on December 31. In Korea she would have been considered 2 years old when she was born less than 2 hours previously.
