dear shri vasudevan,
 
Kousalya's counting the age from Sri Rama's upanayanam is not plausible, for a woman in great distress would definitely not go into the nuances of dharma shastras and consider her son to have been born only at the time of upanayanam.  on this point, Sri Periavaacchaan Pillai is quite categorical. i quote below the Acharya's lines (available not in the Bhaarataadi Tanislokam book, but in the Ramayana Tanisloki)
 
"idu putra pravaasa janita du:khatthaale nirvinnai aana stree vaartthai aagayaale, padu paadaaga piranda andru thudangi endru prathama janmame aam itthanai pokki, shoka dasayile oru pendaatti avahitaiyaai, dharma shaastram anusandittu, patthu kazhitthu dviteeya janmatthai vivakshikkkai anuchitam aagaiyaalum, idu oru aarum pannirandum padinettaai, padinezhukku vinji irukkaiyaalum seraadu"
 
dasan, sadagopan
