Seven kids, from 1946 to 1958. I was the last. Operationally, the baby boom just tends to be defined as the demographic bulge born during the 1946-64 period, which peaked in 1959 or so.
I agree though, that the term baby boomer is awfully broad, and includes people with very different life experiences, based upon very different historical forces. For example, early boomers came of age during the Viet Nam war, while late boomers came of age during the early 1980's recession. Early boomers had acid rock, late boomers had punk rock. I have always seen these as fairly distinct generational entities myself.
