So

The way I've been operating is keep a low population of dwarves (20 ish), build up my fort, and when I'm ready increase the population to the desired amount (115 - since I'm on a laptop I'm not playing with 200 dwarves).

But when I do that, I have a flood of pregnancies.  Fair enough, it's to be expected.

A while ago, I lost 14 dwarves to a horrib er, FUN drowning chamber incident.  I thought "oh well, no big deal, migrants will replace them".  Nope.  14 new babies!   

I now have a fort where over 1/3 of the inhabitants are babies or children.  Is there a way to stop every death to be replaced by a baby?  Migrants are often semi useless dwarves, but they can be assigned to tasks and over time become pretty good.  Babies?  not so much...

There's a setting in d_init.txt.

Sometimes I like to remove the child tags from the dwarves. Makes it so that they are just born as adults, granted I did end up with 9 month old mayor .
