The head is the single biggest and most difficult part of the baby to push out during the birthing process. This is not a trivial fact. If it's true for humans it would be especially true for Lalafell babies. Unless they birth them earlier (a dubious claim to make considering human babies are already birthed at a stage of development that is earlier than most other placental mammals) their babies are going to have heads of comparable or even larger size.

In fact, a lot of the things surrounding Lalafells are just simply biologically dubious and I really want to take the devs to task on a lot of this stuff....

Let's be honest here, outside of the role-playing community I don't think a lot of people even think about that sort of thing. The sexual habits of fantasy races aren't often touched upon in-depth and to be honest I don't think they necessarily need to be either.

Given how different the clans are in-game (specifically The duskwight and the wildwood since that is what I'm looking at specifically), I wonder how common it is for them to cross paths, and more importantly get along at least enough to engage in intercourse. 

For Miqo'te I could see it being quite common since the males wander, and I believe they'd be more concerned with possibly producing male offspring than whether or not they actually like the male. 

For another race such as the Elezen I could see it being much rarer due to the nature and animosity between the two clans. Though this is not to say that two individuals could not produce a child because obviously people within a certain group do not all share the same mindset. I just think it would be rarer in this case. 

Also, given how different the clans look, I wonder who they'd take traits from. Many people have suggested that it might be like Elder Scrolls/Pokemon where the traits are inherited from the mothers, which only a few things being passed down from the father. I think this would be a good way of looking at it, since we can't really determine it unless Sqeenix give us more lore. 
(Which is insanely doubtful because who else other than RP'ers goes into in-depth discussions about the genetics of a race in a game because it's fun?)

I think the best bet would be to wait until 3.0 which will contain more info in cross breeds, I believe it was, it could just be that is was just more crossbreeds. in any case, they are incredibly rare.
