No where in the problem does it state that all the children are from the same woman, and no where does it state that the children can have an age difference of less then one year.

In that extraordinarily nitpicky case, you can use the fact that the father names the third hint as the one to actually discern which answer it concerns as a fourth hint.
Else that third hint would have been rather obsolete, no?
Like Vaskez said, simple logic.
