Just add a leap month every six years
While a novel idea, a leap month would throw the concept seasons and therefore agriculture off significantly. Relatively predictable seasons and being able to track our place in it with calendars was a great help to agrarian communities, helping them know when to plant and harvest most effectively.
13*28=364 so even 13 months and 28 days doesn’t work.
If we had 28 days in a month then the week needs to be something other than 7 days. Three out of four times February / March fucks me over by having the same weekday/ day of the month.

Those are called intercalary months. They had them in the ancient egyptian calendar and were usually used for rest and religious ceremonies.
