If your birthday falls in the beginning of the month, you are a Virgo, best known for being practical, loyal, and organised. After the 22nd you are a balanced, social, and fair-minded Libra.

Asters and morning glories are the flower of this end-of-summer month. Aster originates from Greek and means star—so sweet for a little starlet! Morning glories also have a stellar connection—their centers are star shaped. 

September babies excel at school.

Fall-born babies tend to be stronger and more athletic than their summer-born peers (again, this is likely due to being older—and bigger—than the rest of the kids in their class).

Il latte materno è la migliore fonte di nutrizione per i neonati. È importante che, in preparazione e durante l'allattamento al seno, le madri seguano una dieta sana ed equilibrata. L'allattamento misto (seno e biberon) nelle prime settimane di vita può ridurre la produzione di latte materno e la decisione di non allattare al seno può essere difficile da invertire. Se decidete di utilizzare il latte artificiale per neonati, dovreste seguire attentamente le istruzioni.
