What do you tell a very young child who asks where babies come from?

Question

put ur opinion!!?

Answer 1

I'd use the old "Betty Crocker Mix" story. Babies come straight out of the box, and into the oven.

Answer 2

Well when there young u don't tell them much pretty well at around 10 n under it's when 2 people who love each other n (throw in n there usually married lol...)show there love to one another n create a child who the women carries for almost 10 months n then comes out of mummy's tummy a beautiful little person who can't speak n only show affection eat n sleep.
As the child u r telling this to gets older u add more detail.I would then speak of the actual areas n the proper wording for the areas that the baby comes out of.

Answer 3

This is the best time to tell them the god's honest truth. They will not giggle, they have no preconceived ideas about it - they don't know what bad words are. If you can find a book about it, so much the better - or follow the format of the book "Once Upon a Potty" (http://www.harperchildrens.com/features/onceupon/ ) and tell the child "people have a body with many useful parts, eyes for seeing, a penis for pee pee and making babies after you get married, legs for walking..." or whatever. The more plainly you can make it, the more it is just information - not secret info that people are embarassed and giggly about.

Peace!

Answer 4

A very young child will be satisfied with the simplest of answers. Babies come from a mommy's tummy and that is that. Add details as the child gets older and the questions become more complex.

Answer 5

Well my sister- in law just had a baby two weeks ago and while we were in the hospital my 3 year old son was persistent in asking where babies come from and we tried the belly story and he asked how did she get out and we said the Dr. took her out and then he said how did she get out, we told him Aunt Joy pushed her out and he said from where and my brother after answering all these questions said that there was a "baby hole" that only mommies have and that's where they come out of and it only opens when the baby is ready... Pretty true to the fact and her was satisfied with that... I don't know what we would have said if he asked where the "baby hole" is

Answer 6

If a child is old enough to ask how a bay is born. Tell them that two people love one another,and create a baby. The baby comes from your stomach.

Answer 7

Mine have watched "A Baby Story" on TLC, so they have seen it. They are 6 & 7. They were both in awe over watching it. They've asked how you get the baby and I just tell them a mommy and daddy have to love each other so very much.

Answer 8

Tell them what they'd be able to understand. most kids won't understand intercourse at age 5 or even 8. you can tell them that when mommy and daddy love each other very much and want a child they put daddy's seed in mommy's tummy and that is where a baby is formed.

Answer 9

I'd give them the truth, but make it very simple. Use the real words for things, because this is your opportunity to make your kid feel comfortable with his or her body. Check around in the kids section (or the health and body section) of a bookstore, there is usually a kids book you can read them that will explain it on their level.

And get ready, because you're moving into the part of parenthood where you get to hear your kid say, "Does that lady have a vagina?" while you're shopping ;-)

Answer 10

Inside mommy.
Don't say stomach, you'll give them nightmares about eating babies, and they'll have this weird ignorant idea about how to get pregnant when they are older. You'll have to unteach things.
Short and sweet.
If they ask more questions, answer those succinctly.
How it got there?
Daddy put it there.
How'd it get out?
A cool special tunnel that God built in every mommy.
Can I see it?
hehe, no, that's in a private area.
that way you don't provide too much info, more than they can handle. Pretty much what my two year old got when preggo with our baby.
