Obviously February babies are wonderful - I say this because for me, that's winter and you can eat as much as you want at Christmas without people saying how fat you'll get. It's also in the middle of the school year (Liebling is hanging out waiting for the half term, so always has his/her birthday off school I reckon) and it's nice and warm when you're sick of dressing up baby! You can also get all the birthday presents in the sales after Christmas, which means you get more presents for your money.

I'd love to have an October/November baby too; early in the school year (ours starts in September), not too close to Christmas, the nights are drawing in so when the baby gets active it's the summertime and you can just play outside in the garden.
