Around the world, about 4 babies are born every second on average.

Quick Scoop

  • Global estimates put annual births at roughly 130–140 million babies.
  • That works out to about 360,000–385,000 births per day.
  • Divide by the number of seconds in a day, and you get roughly 4.0–4.5 babies per second.

So, if you imagine a clock ticking: every second that passes, four new little humans join the planet somewhere in the world.
