only child

Good morning,

Is there another adjective we can use instead of "only" when talking about "an only child" ? What's the plural form, "only children" (= one per family) ?

All the best,

Hela

"Tom and Mary are both only children" indicates that they are not siblings, and have no siblings.

Other than 'only child', I don't know of any term.
