7 Fun Facts About Babies Born in March

March babies are a breed of their own. They represent sunshine and hopeful new beginnings! As we roll into the spring season during their birth, our March babies lead us into the warmer days ahead. Babies born during the third month of the year enter this world just as most animals awaken from their hibernation – ready and curious to take in their new scenery. Each is getting to see their scenery become brighter day after day.

Fun Facts About March Babies

Here are a few fun facts about your March baby!

March is the month of the lion – and the lamb.

You can look forward to your little one bursting into the world as the head of the pack or quickly winning your heart as the sweet, more docile one. These symbolic animals are so different yet very powerful in their meaning. Since this time of the year is between sending off winter and welcoming spring, you can most likely expect your March baby to show you strong qualities from both!

Pisces or Aries?

Babies born in March will be represented by one of two zodiac signs covering this part of the calendar year. If your little one swims their way into the world anywhere from March 1^st to the 20^th, they will be one of the fish. Pisces children are considered to be the most intuitive sign. They are sometimes called old souls; you may feel you’ve known them forever. The old wives’ tale of “take a fussy baby out in the air or into the water” may prove to be very effective for your little Piscean. As their astrological signs symbolize, they will likely feel right at home in the water. An early March baby may be sensitive and require extra cuddles and comfort – so be ready for many special moments!

If your little one arrives later in the month, from the 21^st on, they will be an Aries. This zodiac sign is often full of life. Aries is a fire sign, independent and capable. In this situation, they are the proverbial lion, and you can expect a natural-born leader. They are energetic and motivated – so you may want to read up on your baby proofing early if you have a late March arrival! With such versatile signs mixing this month, you can likely expect your little one to display wonderful traits from both.

Daffodils

The flower that represents March is the daffodil. There are more than 40 different daffodil species.¹ Like the beautiful gradients of their yellow petals, March babies are different, too! Different sunlight, soil, and care contribute to the daffodil’s blooms, just like how our diverse environments contribute to our little one’s quirks and traits. Daffodils signify new life, making it the perfect flower to represent the new baby you have given to the world!

A future CEO?

Even though your sweetheart is still slowly blooming, they may be on a fast track to greatness! According to an article in TIME Magazine, your little March-ling could be destined for the top.² Quoting a study published by the journal Economic Letters, the results show that March was the most common birth month among CEOs and business leaders. That’s right — you could have a future boss on your hands! Remember that you could be raising one of our world’s biggest contributors through all the challenging moments and sleepless nights. When they hit it big . . . make sure to remind your little chief who changed their diapers!

Birth Stones

A new baby feels like a precious jewel. Two beautiful gems represent March-born children. The aquamarine, an ocean-colored stone, is considered the original representation of March. The Romans believed it had healing powers. The aquamarine was rare, only carried ashore by the tides when strong enough. Some believed they were magical. They’d rely on the stone to show them their future. Another healing stone symbolizes March youngsters.

The Bloodstone, a type of quartz, is a sacred crystal also believed to hold healing powers. It is a dark green gemstone flecked with vivid red spots of iron oxide. Both birthstones are representative of mystic powers. Fortunately, you don’t need a rock to show you what will come. We can promise that diapers, diapers, and more diapers are on your horizon in just a few short weeks!
