<p>Actually, the Baby Boom peaked in '56 or '57. The outer edge of the baby boom is actually the early '60s–when big postwar families were finishing up. I was born in 1963 and I ran in a pack with a bunch of kids who were kid # 4, 5 or 6 and whose older sibs were born in the early to mid '50s. </p>
<p>The reason you have so many kids now is that you have people like yourself who waited to have kids and younger parents like me and some older Gen Xer’s who had kids in their '20s so Gen Y is huge because it’s a mix of kids who have boomer parents and Gen X parents.</p>
