UNITED NATIONS - The United Nations Children's Fund estimated on Monday that nearly 386,000 babies were born on New Year's Day, with more than 90 percent in developing regions.

The agency reported that globally, over half of these births were estimated to have taken place in nine countries: India (69,070), China (44,760), Nigeria (20,210), Pakistan (14,910), Indonesia (13,370), the United States (11,280), the Democratic Republic of the Congo (9,400), Ethiopia (9,020) and Bangladesh (8,370).
