Ugh...

[Silophant]

Like, infant babies? You don't. They're carried by their mothers until they grow into children, at which point they wander around on their own, or their mother dies, at which point they suicide.

What about children?

You shouldn't rant on like that. You put far too many words into that sentence. See how much I shortened it?

Or:

See? Much nicer, and a bit shorter.

Build a Danger Room, recruit the Moms into the military, and send the BABBYS to that big daycare in the sky...

On the other hand, some mothers don't get their babies killed. They only get incredibly badass and tear the siege apart with their BARE HANDS.

You can make a burrow in a room, assign all the children to it (babies don't work, unfortunately) then put some traps or something in front of the door to keep goblins out.

It.... mostly works. Sometimes the children will wander out to follow their mothers but most of the time they stay in the daycare. Just don't forget to add food/drink and beds (or don't add them and let the children be miserable, they will leave the burrow before they die but they won't be happy about it).

Take that one step further by making the food/booze stockpile their burrow and adding a few beds for the tykes.

Include 1 craftsdwarf's shop in the burrow just incase one of them moods and decides to spend the rest of his life making crossbow bolts

[Yoink]

I have a heavily-guarded nursery, I just assign the mothers with infants to the burrow. Problem solved!
Of course, it sucks if the mothers are your most-valued dwarves.
