Following the lunar calendar in Deeni matters

Q: When weaning a child, is it ok to follow the English calendar for their age to be weaned (Example, 2 years in January maximum, instead of 2 years in Rajab as maximum period). 

If yes, then will that also be for buloogh, according to their English calendar birthday, when they reach that age, if nothing else happens to make them baaligh?

A: The lunar calendar will have to be followed in all these masaail.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
