September born babies are more likely to excel in school

September babies are pretty special

1) Most popular birth month

September is the most common month to be born in.

Does anyone else spend most of September buying birthday cards and driving their kids to another birthday party? Us too.

2) More likely to excel in school

Maybe it's because school starts back in September, but research suggests that children born in this month are far more likely to do well at school.

This tends to be because children who are born in September start school a year later than those born earlier in the year.

3) More likely to live to be 100

I've often imagined my kids in 80 years having joint birthdays with their blue rinses and big knitted cardigans, and it seems like that might just be the case.

How cute will they all be blowing out the candles?
