TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined various pre-and postnatal investments as possible sources behind the birth order effect and found that siblings of higher birth order experience a lower reduction in cigarette usage during pregnancy, are breastfed less often, and experience less cognitive stimulation and emotional support at ages 0 to 1.
