On the other hand, since either you have a population explosion or birthrates equal death rates, the elf mother probably has a gaggle of aunts, sisters, and friends who have only that one little elf baby to ooh and awe over, and to help raise.
EDIT: never mind, they have the kid born 15 years ago still around. The math keeps the same number of babies around.
