How many kids did elves have?

Elves typically have very few children, usually two to four over their long lives, with the desire to procreate fading after a few offspring, though exceptions exist (like Fëanor's seven sons). Their slow reproduction is due to a diminished procreative urge after early marriage and the draining nature of childbirth, often with long gaps between children, making large families rare despite their long lifespans.
