Babies are born every day; that's a pretty simple fact. Hospitals across the planet are inundated with freshly born humans all taking their first breaths and trying to make sense of their new world outside the womb.

Who knows why the day after Christmas is such a randy one for Brits. Maybe it's the day after a fairly big religious holiday, maybe it's the hangover horn, maybe it's all that time off work and doing something to make up the time.

The Office for National Statistics produced the statistics on babies born across Britain and was analysed by Thortful. It found that, on average, there are around 1,800 babies that are born every day.
However on September 26, that number jumps to 2,000.

But if you're thinking that study is bollocks then you might be interested in another by the UK Office of National Statistics, which found that babies born at the start of the year went into some decent careers.
January babies are most likely to become a GP or a debt collector while those who come into the world a month later have a high rate of becoming an artist. While that might be a hard graft, it can pay off big time.
