Why Babies Born in February are Special

February is a short month filled with many holidays, including Valentine’s Day. To many it may seem like the perfect month, short and sweet. However, if you have a baby born in February, it will be an even more special month. Science says that babies born in February are extra special for many reasons.

February Babies

Better Careers

Research done by Harvard shows that babies born in February were both taller and stronger than other babies by the age of seven. February babies also weighed more and were just overall bigger than those born in the other 11 months.

This exact study also showed that winter babies, including the month of February, also did much better on intelligence tests.

Taking into perspective all these factors, your baby could have a pretty significant job. Being taller and stronger could mean a higher chance of playing in the NBA. Doing much better on intelligence tests could mean your baby will eventually become a lawyer or even a doctor.

More Artsy and Creative

Along with being tall, smart, and strong, if your baby is either an Aquarius or Pisces, they will be more artistic and creative than other babies. As the astrology signs mention over and over again, those who are more creative and into art are typically an Aquarius or Pisces.

Being born in February is linked to being an artist. Which means, your baby could end up being famous! There are many many actors and actresses born in February, and even presidents as well!

Rare Birthday

We all know that every four years February has an extra day,  just like this year. That means, if you are due in February, your baby might be one of the very few born on February 29! It is the rarest birthday to have, as only around 200,000 people all around the country have that same birthday.

Even though you cannot actually celebrate their birthday each year on the exact date, it is still a very special birthday to have. If you have a child born on leap year, they are usually called, “leaplings.”

Some people will celebrate their birthday on March 1 or February 28, while a select few only celebrate every four years. It is something very few people can participate in, making them all the more special.

If you have a baby born in February or are due in February, be of good cheer! Your baby is destined to be wonderful and special. Science is showing that babies born in February are more special. No matter what, each and every baby is special and unique in their own way.

    My beautiful daughter Ruth Anne Willis was born on Febuary 23rd and she is very artistic, excelling in painting and also photography ! S he is a very special lady! Patricia Cohn .

  2. Quite a few people in my family were born in February, including myself my daughter and my granddaughter and yes we have tall and big people we have nurses ,doctors lawyers and firemen so I’d have to agree with this

  3. I was born Feb 28th and out of four children I was the biggest. The artistic and creative fits me to a t. 

  4. Both of my sons were born in February, both over 9 lbs 8 oz.. I had my 1st son on 2/13 and came home with him from the hospital on my birthday 02/17. My 2nd son was due on my birthday 02/17 and guess what….he was born on my birthday. Both are now in their 40’s and both are over 6 feet tall. So that part may be true but I am only 5’1″. My daddy and my niece and my uncle were also born in February so we have a lot of birthdays for a short month…

    My son was born on February 28 1983 he is a Pisces and he is both highly intelligent and also very artistic I am so proud of my son even though I was 36.5 hours in labor with him he has become the man that I am proud of and he weighed 8lbs 1.5ozs so I believe that February babies are special .

  6. My son was born February 14th at 5 pounds 11 ounces and 18 inches long. He will be 19 this year and is 6’4″ and still growing!!

  7. My beautiful daughter who is also a cancer survivor was born in Feb. and is very talented and clever.

  8. You have overlooked the fact that half the world is in the Southern Hemisphere! So a large number of February babies are Summer, not Winter, babies!

  9. Just to clarify, babies born on the 29th of February should be correctly referred to as “Leap Day” babies.

    This is absolutely true ! Bob Marley was an Aquarius born on February 6th and I on February 7th!

  11. My baby was born in February, and only weighed 3 lbs. So guess that doesn’t go with February babies weighing more than the other months!

  12. Our daughter was born On Feb 15, she weighed 9lbs 2oz at birth. This year she’ll be earning her Doctorate in physical therapy. So proud of our February baby. ❤️
