Don't hesitate to ask as you want!

Yeah the good news keeps on coming!

It`s good to have babies but don`t have too many they CAN and WILL eat up your food supply.

Yes, indeed. Babies and children eat as much as the adults.

By the way, if the food supply is low the villagers are wary of creating another mouth to feed, so that is probably why you had problems earlier. You can, by keeping on trying, usually get them to have a baby, though most times they "try" nothing will happen. When they've built up a stock of a few hundred food points they are more likely to have babies.
