Stardew Valley Children and Family Route
Family expansion / Marriage, second farmhouse upgrade, nursery, crib, 10-heart spouse, and at least 7 married days
Children are a late farmhouse route: they require the nursery setup, a stable marriage, and time, then progress through baby, crib, crawl, and toddler stages.
Facts and route notes
Stage: Family expansion
Requirement: Marriage, second farmhouse upgrade, nursery, crib, 10-heart spouse, and at least 7 married days
Checklist: Keep the crib installed if planning for children. Expect a roughly 1-in-20 overnight chance once the conditions are met. Interact with children once per day after the early stage to build their hearts.
