When China announced the end of its decades-old "one-child policy" this past October, allowing couples to have a second child, it brought joy to many couples who believe the perfect family needs one boy and one girl.

China now expects two to five million more babies annually in the first three to five years, according to a China Daily report.

In commenting on the new ruling, one Changchun nurse whose daily routine includes washing newborn babies, says, "I expect to be giving more baths to more babies."
