Mothers expecting or giving birth in April should consider themselves lucky, as they are in harmony with "Mother Nature." A baby born in spring will have some special characteristics, according to research.
A study published in the journal Sleep revealed that individuals born in spring and summer months tend to go to bed later than those born in autumn or winter. Therefore, your April baby is likely to be a "night owl."
A 2014 study conducted in Hungary found that babies born in March, April, and May tend to be more optimistic and have a positive outlook on life. The baby is even more likely to be optimistic if summers are dry and winters are cold (as in Central Europe).
Babies born in April have a higher chance of becoming corporate leaders than those born in summer, according to research from the University of British Columbia. After analyzing the birthdates of 375 CEOs from 500 companies between 1992 and 2009, researchers discovered that this is due to the age at which they started school. Babies born in April are more likely to be the oldest in their class and thus emerge as leaders very early on.
A 2015 study conducted in New York found that children born in spring have a lower risk of asthma. The reduced risk may also be a result of the fact that dust mites and mold are more common in spring, and since the baby is exposed to these factors in the first two months of life, their immune system is strengthened.
The same aforementioned study also revealed that ADHD is most commonly diagnosed in babies born later in the year.
Since they are born at this time of year, your babies are exposed to the sun very early. Research has shown that spring babies have a higher risk of melanoma in adulthood, possibly because they were exposed to the sun in their earliest months of life. So, protect the skin of your little Aries or Taurus!
