the truth is the only way to go... get a book and read it to them.
My daughter was 5 when i was pregnant with her little sister and she wanted to know how her sister got into my tummy. i opted for the simple truth and told her that 'daddy loved me so much he put her there for me' ... lol, it worked!

I think it's very important not to lie to the children but to only give them as much information as they're able to understand according to their age. So I would start off by asking them how THEY think babies are made/born and then work on from that. You'll find that most children already know some things and they just want clarifying some ideas they already have on the matter, not a whole, full explanation.

I'd do what my parents did. They explained that when a MOMMY and a DADDY wanted a baby they did a very special hug that only mommy's and daddy's know how to do. They also handed us a book on the cycles of pregnancy. The medical jargon didn't matter to us so we just looked at the pictures of the baby in the womb which thought was cool. When my sisters and I grew older and began to understand better we didn't feel lied to at all, we felt a little amused. All my friends parents gave one liners like "babies come from God". I think that my parents' method was better just make sure that you make it clear that it is a hug that only mom and dad know how to do or he might be afraid to hug people. Good luck!

What people say is to answer there question directly. If they ask where babies come from tell them where they come from. Don't shy away from it.
Just tell them the truth. Explain it in a manner they can comprehend and understand.

The best way to tell them is to tell them the truth, and answer their questions whenever they may need.

In simple terms, using correct labels. You really only need to answer what they ask. The older they get, the more detailed the discussions will become.

Dumb it down to their age, you don't want to give them the whole story if they are too young.
