The answer

3,600,000 births

Roughly 3.6M.

Around 3.6 million babies are born in the U.S. each year, roughly 10,000 a day. Births peaked above 4.3 million in 2007 and have fallen almost every year since. The general fertility rate now sits near a record low, which is why overall population growth depends on immigration.
