Just set the birth rate or age cap to zero, problem solved just pretend they're all twenty or something.

Or atleast make a seperate room for the children, that's what I do. As for babies I just undraft the female soldier or place them in an area where they can't get hurt, wait for the baby to become a child... IN THE PIT WITH YOU! Profit! I mean redraft.

Yeah, female soldiers are a tantrum waiting to happen.  If their mother is stationed even remotely close to a wall, children have a nasty tendency to decide that the other side of the wall is where they should go.  They don't care that getting there involves a 5000-tile walk through eight squads of goblins, skeletal carp breeding grounds, and a magma flash-food, they're damn well going to the other side of that wall.

Is it possible that having your soldier on a different Z-level from the ground will prevent the children trying to get to the other side of the wall?

Wat effect would having fortifications 2 tiles deep have on accuracy?

What's the difference between the dwarven military and other militaries?

Dead babies.

Do you have any idea the lengths some people go to to separate dwarven children from their continuing existence? You should be glad you got such a lucky break!

The undying hatred other players have for free labor will never cease to confound me. Not only do they do most of your harvesting for you, children are also really handy if you ever decide you want to undo a large construction. After deciding I wanted to deconstruct an unused building to reclaim the blocks, with some 70-odd children (not even counting babies) it was like a swarm of locusts boiled up and ATE IT.

Now if only they'd do whatever it is they do to the walls to the goblins...
