When to have a baby

One of my professors told me that his wife and him purposely conceived in April/May so that all their children were born in either January or February. Apparently there's this study showing that children born earlier in the year tend to be more mature and responsible because when they go to school, they will be "older". Developmentally, they'll be ahead because of their birth dates compared to a child born in December. Don't know how true this is but my professor isn't the only one who thinks this way. I found an article about parents in the UK preferring to give birth in the Fall instead of Summer because of similar reasons. Fall babies will be the oldest in their year because of their academic cycle and studies have shown that they do better while Summer babies don't do as well. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2404884/Dont-come-baby--I-want-class-The-mothers-wholl-ANYTHING-September-birth.html

This is such an interesting question! I think the best month is the month your baby is destined to be born in. ;) I said that simply because I think trying to get pregnant is quite unpredictable (and may be stressful for some) and it will be even tougher to target to be conceived based on a particular month for the baby to be born in. No need for the additional stress. If you are interested, you can take a look at this article which compiled some studies looking at the correlations of babies' health and the months they are born in (in the western context though): http://thestir.cafemom.com/pregnancy/158076/the_best_worst_months_to Interestingly, my friends who are teachers have mentioned that children born in the earlier part of the year may have some developmental advantage as compared to the rest. I'm not too sure how true is that. Food for thought. :)

I am in the southern hemisphere and springtime is September so it was the time i had in mind for the birth of our child. I would like the baby to enjoy outdoors during the first months of its life, as it also helps with jaundice as my family are all summertime babies it makes the end of year and the beginning of the year even more better.

I would say earlier in the year vs later. A study published by the Canadian Medical Association Journal on March 5 found that children born in December were 39 per cent more likely to be treated with medication for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) compared to children with a January birthday.

January , February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December All months :) baby is a blessing no matter what month they are born! My Daughter was born June 26 2009 & My son was born Jan 11th 2019
