Pros and cons of August/ September birthday

So my first born is a September baby and I was worried that he would be born in Aug and struggle , he now is one the oldest in his year , he very advanced for his age and needs to be in the year above .

I'm currently pregnant with an August baby and I'm not worried .

I know all children are different and I have friends who have defured their children a year but I honestly wouldn't worry about it just yet . Children learn at their own pace and try not to compare.

I’m due 18th aug my partners birthday but I’m a September baby and I love it September is the best month for me but only positive for an august baby is once there 3 and get there funded hours for nursery you get them in September if you have a September you have to wait till January hahaa I definitely want the baby after the 23rd I don’t think I can deal with two Leo’s 😂 and my moms birthday is the 27th august which would be nice to have them close to that I’d love to give her a grandchild for her 50th also congratulations to you xxxx

Child can be great at school or struggle regardless of bday. My two older ones are June born they are the youngest in classroom and they both beyond their older classmates in results. Bday doesn't define a child 😜

Mine is due 25th! ☺️ I’m a primary teacher and I have to say I really don’t see any correlation with young children in that year group and struggling with school. Even if they do to start with, they will always catch up! Please don’t let it worry you x

Hand on heart I was actually relieved when I realised it was an August baby, if it was born in September it would be another full year of childcare costs!

I had my twins in august. They are doing so well in school. I used to worry about them being the youngest in class and even asked the school if they could stay an extra year in nursery but they reassured me they were ready.

Due again in august and I’m not worried at all 🥰

You have the right to hold your baby back until they are 5 years old so having an august baby in my opinion is the best time of year. You can do either. Send them in save on nursery or keep them off because they aren’t ready. It’s a win win in my opinion :)

I told my best friend I was due in August near her birthday and she felt sympathy for the baby as she never had any friends at her birthday parties as a kid because everyone was on holidays! 😂 means less to organise for mums I guess! And being the last to turn 18 when all your friends can legally drink will surely be annoying…

I’m August and due in August. Academically I was never behind and managed ok in other areas. Having a summer birthday was absolutely amazing though ! The sun was shining and I love being a summer baby

my mom said the exact same she’s an august baby so she planned for me to be a September baby as she never wanted me to be like her then I turned 18 and nobody was old enough to come out with me so it was just as shit 😂😂

I definitely prefer august. It doesn’t make much difference in their schooling really. In the classes that I’ve taught which had mostly been year 3, any difference has levelled out. The savings on childcare is a massive win in my opinion.

I’m a teacher and honestly think it only really makes a difference in the first couple of years of school when they’re still so little. In terms of childcare, yes August is good because the 30 funded hours come in in September, but you only get it free for 1 year, whereas a September baby doesn’t get funding until January but will get the 2 terms of that year plus another full year funded.
Really think it doesn’t hugely matter though! My baby number 1 is September baby and this one (hopefully) will be August and I’m not thinking it will be an issue x

I went straight for the nursery savings thought 😅😅 the school cycle doesn't last forever and I'm glad they'll have summer birthdays (speaking as a January baby!)
