A baby born on February 29, 1980 will not have another February 29th birthday until 1984, the next time a Leap Year occurs. What does he do then to celebrate his birthday in 1981, 1982, and 1983?
A Leap-Year baby can choose his own birthday from either February 28 or March 1, two dates which DO occur every year.
Every person in the world shares his or her birthday with at least 10,000,000 other people. So the next time you celebrate your birthday and your friends sing “Happy Birthday to You” 10 million other people are hearing that same song sung to them all over the world. Some might be only 1 year old, while others might be 100!

But your child was born in February…Why wouldn’t you celebrate at least in the month they were born? I say this because my wife is a leap day baby..
I’m a leap year baby for over 40 years, and I have always celebrated BOTH Feb 28 and March 1st. Its much more fun that way… It’s kind of boring when I actually have only one day to celebrate. I have many friends and family that are adament on one of the days, so why should I disappoint anyone. My vote, celebrate both.
yes Liz is right! i’m not a leap year baby but one of my mother’s or father’s is and she celebrates it on march 1 and on feb.28 because sometimes all your reletives and friends don;t come on the same day instead they will visit on the next day and its fun you will have many gifts and you wlill be ful! Bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrpppp! ups! sorry! im born in july 9, 1998 im just 11 now 2010 and who ever are you people i think liz is right!
