In DF2012, I just observed two children sleeping in a bed with their father.  It's my assumption that his third child would have as well if I hadn't specifically assigned that child a room in a burrow (I'm using DT to assign certain labors I feel make sense to children, farming including - and I have my child farmers restricted to a burrow with their assigned bedrooms and personal dining hall to prevent them attempting to grow outdoor crops and being carried off by snatchers).  My fort has a severe bed shortage at the moment, as got two back to back large migrant waves, not sure if that has anything to do with it, but I have about 50 beds (35 in dorms) for 90 dwarves, and the bedroom is fairly high quality.  The bed wasn't specifically assigned to the father, he self-assigned by sleeping in it when I got it set up and marked as a bedroom.  Since I saw nothing on either the Bed or the Children page about it, figured I'd mention it, in case anyone feels it should be included on the wiki.  [[User:Gatherer818|Gatherer818]] 05:01, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

I Can't comfirm this. I had a baby die of thirst a few months after her mother died trying to save it from a goblin. Nobody seems to care for the orphaned babies.

Give Water is not a high-priority task. As with hospitalized patients, orphaned babies can die of thirst if all your dwarves are too busy hauling socks. In a fort that's large, or busy, or has a high patient(+orphan) load, consider having one or two nurse-dorfs with all labors but "Feed Patients and Prisoners" turned off.

Proposed move to DF2012:Child

Reason: Rule N suggests that concepts should always be singular (child) unless always plural (not the case here).

As this is a higher-risk move, I believe it would be constructive to agree on it before completing the move. As with the move of arena, one issue that needs to be resolved is what to do with the other namespaces. My opinion is that they should too have the pages moved, as the Rule N applies to them as well.

In addition, DF2012:Child should probably be vacated for the move to properly occur (while preserving the edit history). --Dree12 (talk) 03:48, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

Bug marked as resolved

Should the page be updated to show the bug is no longer current? -- 81.156.53.204 09:33, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Yes, and I have done so. However, feel free to update and correct the wiki yourself if you see any other outdated or incorrect information. Thanks. -- HiEv 22:57, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Fill Pond?

Sleeping with parents

In DF2012, I just observed two children sleeping in a bed with their father. It's my assumption that his third child would have as well if I hadn't specifically assigned that child a room in a burrow (I'm using DT to assign certain labors I feel make sense to children, farming including - and I have my child farmers restricted to a burrow with their assigned bedrooms and personal dining hall to prevent them attempting to grow outdoor crops and being carried off by snatchers). My fort has a severe bed shortage at the moment, as got two back to back large migrant waves, not sure if that has anything to do with it, but I have about 50 beds (35 in dorms) for 90 dwarves, and the bedroom is fairly high quality. The bed wasn't specifically assigned to the father, he self-assigned by sleeping in it when I got it set up and marked as a bedroom. Since I saw nothing on either the Bed or the Children page about it, figured I'd mention it, in case anyone feels it should be included on the wiki. Gatherer818 05:01, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
