The more babies the merrier, say some parents
by Sheela Narayanan

WHILE two seems to be enough for many Indian couples in Singapore, the latest Total Fertility Rate showed that the trend in Singapore was more for smaller families or not having any children at all.

tabla! spoke with four families to get their perspective on the business of having babies; a couple happy not to have children for now, another content to have just one child, a third where the biological clock is ticking so loudly they have set themselves a baby deadline and a fourth who in this current generation can be considered an anomaly as they have six children.

Here's what they have to say...

 

Baby bonus
More babies the better
Desperately trying for baby
Don't want a baby now
 Stopping at one
