When kids die as infants they don't have time to have any meaningful interactions with their great-grand parents so the point of the article still stands somewhat. The age of great-grandmothers is low infant mortality + parents making kids early.

People had more kids (and then some) to compensate for the infant mortality, so I don't think it reduced the number of great grandmothers much.

They very clearly did not put that much thought into it, not sure why you are making this up.
