Are there never more than 1k babies born in a day?

  With a population of 12M and life expectancy of 80 years (give or take), probably not, as that needs ~400 newborns a day to maintain, and the birth rate is probably well below that, like in most Western countries.

    Back-of-the-napkin math supports that, but baby births aren’t uniformly distributed. Well, anyway, I’m sure they thought about it. Thanks for explaining how I got my Belgian ID number!

      For the curious, there is a lot more about National Numbers in this pdf: https://www.ibz.rrn.fgov.be/sites/default/files/documents/nl/rijksregister/bestand-rr/bestand-RR.pdf https://www.ibz.rrn.fgov.be/sites/default/files/documents/nl...
