New contact's birthday not showing up in calendar. iOS 7.1.1 related?

Not sure if this is iOS 7.1.1 related but if I add a new contact with birthday entry (or a new birthday to an existing contact), the new birthday will not show up in the calendar on iPhone and iPad. It will correctly show on my Mac and in ICloud calendar. It makes no difference if I add birthday on iOS device, iCloud or Mac.

The contac information shows up correctly on all devices, but not birthdays in iOS calendar.

Anyone alse who has the same problem or could try to replicate it?

iPad, iOS 7.1.1

This is what worked for me.

Open the Calendar app and select Calendars and untick Birthdays.

Close the Calendar app and unload from memory i.e. press the home button twice and swipe up the Calendar app.

Re-open the Calendar app and select Calendars and reselect Birthdays.

All the birthdays now appeared....at least for me.
