Or was it an irregular occurrence? If it was everyone, why wasn't moshe born with siblings? Or perhaps he had siblings we don't know about? Could they have been killed by mitzriem?

I'm not sure if that was true (the high birth rate) for shevet levi because that shevet wasn't enslaved.

But weren't they having 6 babies before the enslavement?

So was shevet levi a smaller shevet?

Rashi says this in Parshas Bamidbar.
That Shevet Levi was counted starting at 30 days, as opposed to the rest of the shevatim's 20 years.
Even so, they were significantly smaller than the rest. Because they weren't enslaved, they didn't have the Bracha of tremendous growth.

absolutely not every birth involved 6 babies!
It was a common occurance but still not typical.
