More babies are born in late September and early October than at any other point of the year.
According to new analysis by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) 26 September was the common birthday in England and Wales between 1995 and 2014 - which approximately nine months after Christmas Day.
Eight of the other top 10 dates of birth occurred in late September - with the other two occurring in early October.
This suggests more babies are likely to be conceived around the Christmas holidays - though the data does not show whether or not babies are born premature.
The data shows that if births were evenly distributed around the year there would be an average 1,800 births per month but in September the average is 2,000.
Christmas Day and Boxing Day come bottom of the table.
The ONS also found there were only eight days in the past 20 years which there was actually “one baby born every minute” - the last being Christmas Day 2014.
On average, a baby is born every 48 seconds.
