• Babies born in the spring tend to be more positive than their peers, according to a study around how your birth month affects your mood.
• As well as your child’s birthday, there is a lot to celebrate this month. March is the month of big holidays such as Easter, Mother’s Day (UK), International Women’s Day and St. Patrick's Day.
• The March birth flowers are the daffodil and jonquil, two spring flowers for the month where the new season officially begins.

• Speaking of high-rising, a study from Austria found March-born babies born at the end of March are likely to be some of the tallest among their peers (which is potentially due to the he amount of light-dependent melatonin mothers are exposed to during pregnancy).
