I totally agree with Bt being very nearly childless. I found the 2 kids in ITB to help the story nicely.
It wasn't merely the scarcity of children during the series run. You also have to consider their fates. For example:
Shon ("Believers") - killed by his parents.
Kid in Commercial ("And Now For a Word") - taken by Psi Corps.
Little Markab Girl ("Confessions and Lamentations") - died of Drafa.
Simon the Teep ("No Compromises") - blasted.
You think maybe JMS doesn't like kids much?
