In 1997, about 365 000 babies were born, and about 140 000 people died, giving a natural increase of about 220 000 people a day.
There are 19 births per 1000 population, 131.4 million births per year, 360 000 births per day, 15 000 births per hour, 250 per minute, 4 births per second.
Most women in Netherlands preferred home births
In Germany, government offices keep a list of "accepted names" that parents must adhere to when registering the name of their child. In the case of an unusual name, they must give a compelling reason why an exception should be made. The government policy is intended to act in the best interest of the child, in an effort to thwart potential ridicule of a child with a name that's too different.
In turkey, mother and baby stay home for the first 20 days after the birth. Friends drop by and drink a special beverage called lohusa serbeti. After this period, the mother and child make return visits to gift-givers' homes, where they receive a handkerchief filled with a single egg (for a healthy baby) and candy (for a good-natured baby). They also rub flour on the baby's eyebrows and hairline, which is supposed to grant him a long life.
