It stays free — no paywall, no account — for the next man who comes looking, the way it was free for you.

Is 24 months 2 years? I'm not sure, I better put 24 months because I am retarded.

Much as recent newborns are referred to as "N days old" and then subsequently "N weeks old"; it seems to be pretty standard practice -- particularly in regard to pediatric medical issues -- to use "N months old" for infants & "toddler" children... generally up to around age 3 (36 months), after which it is common to simply use years.
And it isn't because everyone that does so is "retarded."
Rather there is a solid rationale behind it, there being significant (typical) developmental and behavioral stages/differences between say a child at 18, 19 or 20 months versus the same child at 24, 25 or 26 months (not to mention a 13 month old versus a 23 month old); significant & substantial enough that (again especially for medical purposes) to simply refer them by the cruder delineation of years (especially if counted by "birthdays") would be problematic.
And since our calendar system uses months (numbered AND named) it is much easier, far less awkward, and much more accurate than some approximate "fractional" system. In other words, it is fairly easy to calculate that a child born in mid February of last year (2/2016) is now (in mid September of 2017) at 19 months old; whereas it's a bit more difficult to determine whether they are 1-1/4, or 1-1/2 or 1-3/4 years old (i.e. you're going to do the numerical "N months" calculation anyway -- before reducing it to the 1/2 or 1/4 year fraction -- so why not just use "N months"). And simply saying the child is somewhere between 1 & 2 years old just isn't going to suffice for medical purposes.
-- Does that really matter in the specific sentence context here? Probably not.
But keep in mind this is in a text used in training/exam for nurses -- and they want trainee nurses (mostly young women) to become "habituated" into thinking about and referring to toddlers by age in "months" rather than years -- so this is just "practicing" what they "preach." (Note that in the subsequent sentences, the older children are referred to as "3 year old" and "8 year old").
