Your Child (DS)

In Harvest Moon DS and Harvest Moon DS: Cute is possible for you to have a child after getting married.

After you have been married for a season or so, if you have kept your spouse' Love Points above 60,000 for 30 days, the female-side of partnership may wake up one morning feeling sick. The two of us will head to the clinic, where we discover that we're about to become parents. It will take another 60 days before the baby is born.

Once your child is born, it will remain in each growth stage for 2 years (240 days). Your Child will stop growing once it becomes a teenager; they do not just stay child as the final stage like in most Harvest Moon games. Their gift preferences and schedules change with each stage.

Gender
In Harvest Moon DS: Cute your child can be male or female, however in Harvest Moon: DS your child always male.

In Cute your child's gender is randomly set at one's wedding ceremony, and you will not know what the gender is until the child is actually born. It is similar to a pregnancy real life.

Appearance
Depending on who your spouse is, your child's appearance will differ.


 * Celia or Marlin = Brown hair, green outfit


 * Flora or Carter = Blond hair, red and purple striped clothing


 * Lumina or Griffin = Brown hair, orange and brown clothing


 * Muffy or Rock = Blond hair, white outfit with blue pinstripes


 * Nami or Gustafa = Red hair, light blue clothing

If you choose to marry a special marriage candidate (Leia, Keira, Skye, etc.), or any of the Mineral Town characters, the child's appearance will be randomized.
