MIAMI – Hospitals in Broward and Miami-Dade Counties rang in the new year with the first babies born a few hours after midnight on Wednesday in 2025.
It’s notable because they are first babies of a new generation called Gen Beta.
But they can’t be counted as a tax deduction unless they were born hours earlier on Dec. 31, 2024.
