Hi, I purchased a WHOOP 5.0 with a Peak membership for my son. He was born in 2012, but during account setup the app does not allow me to enter his actual year of birth. The earliest year available is 2008.

I don’t want to enter a false date of birth because I am concerned that an incorrect age could affect his WHOOP data, recovery, strain, sleep recommendations, or other metrics.

Is there an official way to create and configure a WHOOP account for a minor using his real date of birth? If so, could you please explain the correct setup process?

Thank you.
