Leap year babies are born on February 29, which occurs once every four years. This means that they only have a birthday every four years, unless they choose to celebrate on February 28 or March 1.
In South Africa, leap year babies have the option to celebrate their birthdays on February 28 or March 1. This is because the South African government has declared that leap year babies can choose either of these days as their official birthday.
There are a few different reasons why leap year babies might choose to celebrate their birthdays on different days. Some people prefer to celebrate on February 28 because it is the day before their actual birthdate. Others prefer to celebrate on March 1 because it is the day after their actual birthdate. And still others choose to alternate between the two days each year.
