> When we refer to 'the first year of life', we mean the time from birth until you turn 1. Sure, but no one ever uses that phrasing after you turn one. Then it's just "when they were one", "when they were five", whatever. So sure, maybe we can continue to say "the 1st century", but for dates 100 and later, no more. |

Heck, few people say anything about 'the first year of life' even when talking about someone that young. It is too imprecise, because things change so rapidly. In my experience the most common convention is to use months to describe age before someone turns 2.
