OK. The answer is: IT DEPENDS ! A child (or an adult) has a birthday EVERY year, no matter on the DATE of the birth.
Factually, if someone has a birthday that falls in a leap year, and has a February 29th, then that is their birthday.
If they are actually counting days, then the next year, their actual date they turn one year (365 days) old is March 1st,(NOT February 28th) and the subsequent years would be March 1st, until leap year rolled around again, when it would be February 29th again.
So, yes, it is fine to celebrate the day of birth as either February 29th or March 1st, depending on the year.
Actually, it is all the rest of us who are screwed up--Since WE don't add a day every four years to OUR birthdays. By the time we were 28, we would be a full week late for our own birthday !
(think about it !)
Happy Birthday.....every year !

In the 1880 opera "The Pirates of Penzance" by Gilbert and Sullivan, the unfortunate hero Frederick was born on February 29th and has been apprenticed to a pirate crew "until his twenty-first birthday". Since he only has a proper birthday once every four years, he realises to his horror that this means he will have to remain a pirate until he is 84 years old!
The Victorian audiences loved this sort of wacky academic humour. And of course, in those days, articles of apprenticeship were well known to be absolutely legally binding according to their exact wording.

Actually, people who have their birthday on this day are officially having the birthday every 4 years! But it means, that if that person would celebrate his/her birthday every 4 years for... 5 times, that he/she is actually 5 years old. But that is impossible, so he/she is just 20 years old.

Well of course they get older! As far as when they celebrate, I think it's just all up to them. I had a friend with that b-day, and she would always celebrate on the 28th AND the 1st! :)

Ouch, my head hurts....my aunt was a leap year baby, she celebrated her off year b'days on Feb. 28. She also told people she was only a teenager because she had had less than 20 b'days.
