Welcome New Year Babies!

1/3/2013

Each December 31, while most people are counting down to the start of the New Year, mothers in hospitals across the country are giving birth to babies who could become the first babies born in the New Year in their communities.


New Years Babies are babies who are born on midnight, or within the first few minutes or hours of the New Year. Oftentimes, hospitals will celebrate the arrival of their first New Year Baby of the year by presenting the baby’s family with a gift package or gift certificates. In addition, local media outlets will report the names, weights and time of birth of the first few babies born in the New Year.

Businesses have long donated baby gifts and merchandise to New Year Babies and their families. Along with getting free baby stuff and a little bit of fame, there are also a number of positive superstitions surrounding New Year’s Babies. One of the most prevalent beliefs is that the baby will be lucky for the rest of its life. It’s also been said that babies who are born on New Year’s have green thumbs and are very fertile.

Throughout the course of history, there have been a number of well known individuals who are recognized as a New Year’s Baby. These include:

-       Pope Alexander VI - 1431

-       Paul Revere – 1735

-       George Washington Carver – 1860

-       J. Edgar Hoover – 1895

-       J.D. Salinger- 1919

While many new parents may revel in the status of having one of the first babies born of the New Year, there are some advantages to having a baby born before the clock strikes midnight. Parents whose children are born in December can claim a tax deduction on their 2012 income taxes.

Congratulations to every new parent who is expecting a child in the last few days of December and throughout the New Year!
