Already born: your child will have 2 ages for a while, the chronological age, actual age since birth, and the corrected or adjusted age, in other words the age if the child was born at full term, 40 weeks, so in your case simply subtract 15 weeks from your child's chronological age to get her corrected age, she won't be a newborn any more, the newborn period is the first four weeks of life regardless,
