The Firstborn Phenomenon

Why oldest siblings have more albums

The Firstborn Phenomenon
If you look at a family's photo archives, the firstborn child almost always has significantly more photographs than their younger siblings. Psychologists attribute this to the novelty of the first child, combined with parents having more time and energy before the family expanded. As more children arrive, the photographic documentation naturally spreads thinner.
