The birth month matters. It's not just about special qualities, but the cool and windy fall months that babies are born into can toughen them up - they love playing outside, which strengthens their immune system, and they get sick less often. Some even believe that children born in October are determined, ambitious, and go through life with confidence.
October babies are special in every way
In October, the weather can often surprise us, and instead of a golden autumn, we may face gloomy, cold, rainy, and windy days. It's no wonder that mothers expecting a baby around this time might not feel too optimistic. The shorter daylight hours in autumn mean less time for outdoor activities, like walks. However, many experts believe that babies born in October and November are especially fortunate. Why? The list is long, and it starts with longevity.
Babies born in October tend to live longer than their peers born in spring or summer. "This conclusion comes from experts at the University of Chicago, who studied over 1,500 people nearing their 100th birthday and 11,000 people with shorter lifespans," according to the mamadu.pl portal. This is, of course, related to their strong immune systems, hardiness, and, most importantly, their activity outdoors (which gives them high levels of vitamin D).
October babies also possess another significant trait: they are mentally strong and resilient. "The British Journal of Psychiatry studied the mental health of people born in the fall. The journal PLOS ONE published research based on surveys from 29 million people. The findings show that children born in October are less likely to be at risk of mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression," the article explains.
