My daughters asked where do babys come from?

Answer 1

tell her the truth....from fruits, belly, and so on.
Is this the truth? no.
this is just a way to hide the shameful thing we all do (sex).
sex is a normal need, but it is hard to tell kids. the safest way to say. daddy gives my his seeds and I grow it in my belly. I eat and drink so it get bigger. then when he is ready, I go to hospital and the doctor gets the baby out. simple.

Answer 2

Ok so don't tell her everything about the actual sex part, but just tell her pretty much what it's about. Don't go saying the whole 'When mummy and daddy are very much in love they do a special hug' just tell her 'When Mummy really wanted a baby, Daddy gave me a seed, the seed then grew in my belly into a baby, but it took nine months' But if she's like 9-11 buy a book and read through it with her, My mum bought a book called, 'Where do baby's come from?' And it had a little bird and a parrot thing telling us the story, it was kind of like a comic strip but really factual and fun at the same time, it wasn't even embarrasing.Good luck

Answer 3

My very clever neighbour told her boy's that
"a baby comes out the hole at the top of your legs" and I then used this on my daughter very recently. I said it matter of factly and she just nodded and went about her business. It seemed a bit strange to me when she said it, but when I tried it, it seemed to satisfy my daughter

As to where babys start from in the beginning, we told her "that mummy's and daddys' give each other a special kiss and cuddle that only mummy's and daddy's can do and then if you're very lucky a baby will start growing in the mummy's tummy. The baby starts as little as your finger nail and slowly grows into a big baby. Then the doctor helps the mummy take the baby out at the hospital and you get to go and visit"
You can adjust this to suit how far the explanantion needs to extend.
She seemed happy with both explanations and if she asked again at some point I just said the exact same thing again..

Answer 4

My daughter asked this when I was pregnant with her brother.She had been watching all the maternity programmes on television with me and knew that babies didn't come from out of your tummy.I told her that the daddy plants a seed in the mummys egg and it makes a baby-she accepeted this and now I don't need to have an embarrasing discussion with her later in life-she is 5 by the way and I think it's better to be honest otherwise they here a graphic version in the playground!!

Answer 5

Depending on how old she is, you really should be telling her everything. There are lots of kids books out there which help with this.

I don't mean all the graphic details of course but she needs to know how the baby gets into a mummy's tummy and a bit about how it grows...

Of course I don't know how old she is but should think if she is asking, she is probably old enough to know. I don't remember ever not knowing the facts of life and I am very glad that my mum explained it all to me without being too squeemish or embarassed!

It can have consequences if they don't know the true facts as my auntie had a baby when she was 16 (probably back in the 40s) and she was expecting it to come out of her belly button... kids need to know

Answer 6

Yes so answer her, give her an age appropriate answer my daughter is 3 and knows that mummy and daddy are trying to have a baby, and to do this we have a special cuddle and daddy puts a seed in mummy's belly that takes a long time to grow into a baby...

she also knows that the baby comes out of mummy's bits and it takes a long time to push out...she also knows its should be big girls and ladies that have babies

i try and be honest with my children as i think it hurts them when they discover they have been lied to...

choose age appropriate answers and answer all questions,

good luck

Answer 7

i wouldn't reccommend the stork story it sounds sweet but it's untrue and i think you should always be honest with your children it depends what age your girls are and how much you feel they need to know plus if you've one older than the other if you give them different explanations they'll always go back and tell the other at about 18months my daughters knew the baby was in mummy's tummy and accepted this (i was pregnant at the time) but as they get older they start asking more questions so when they ask tell them a little more this way your going at their pace
good luck

Answer 8

tell her while 2 human beings somewhat love one yet another and have been mutually for a protracted time and gotten marry they the two made a baby which the female carry in her abdomen for 9 months so the infant can get waiting to come back out. then the infant is born from the mommy's private and thats it. shes 10 she desires to comprehend the way it take place yet no longer pass deeply intimately. unquestionably dont lie or make it unreal, basically tell her the certainty on your person words and that would desire to be good.

Answer 9

I loved the Harry Enfield sketch dealing with this... it was set in Victorian Britain, and an upper class twit is asking his father how he came to be born.

The dad says- 'I will tell you frankly. After we had just been married, I had been sitting at breakfast reading the morning papers. After I had got up and gone to my club, your mother accidentally sat in the same chair I had been sitting in, and it was still warm. Later that year, you were born.'

I guess kids can deal with a bit more truth than this! Good luck with your parenting, and remember that 'where babies come from' is pretty common knowledge, and kids can find out easily enough in time...

Answer 10

Well tell her and no bs

Our SUPERIORS the DUTCH, GERMAN and SCANDANAVIANs pretty much do this from the age of four anf then cover what gay people and and basics of sex and love and realtioships. Explaining exactluy where babies come from and how they get there in the frame of loving acts between paretns contrasting that with what peadophila is in the context of bullying.

Then the kids are drilled, with constant over and over ever more detailed sex and realtioship ed every year interwined in all lessons, fully backed up by the media, parents, youth clubs etc throughout schooling thorugh 18 covering every possible aspect including dating, how and why guys and girls think differenly, masterbation in explicit deatil, sex actsl two from the point of view of teenage boy and girlfriends inc foreplay .

By 13/14 we are talking field trips to the likes of Ann Summers sex shops to discuss all the different kinds of products they do.


Condom practice is done over and over.

This is also compulsory... no eceptions

End result is a tiny teen pregnancy rate mainly in relgionous immigrant groups.

Very balanced , relaxed young people with no embarrasment discussing sex openly and in detail on any aspect with grwon ups, a lot less teen suicdies, most waiting till about 17 and not as drunk or pressured.

With dual contraception being the norm. Ie depro injection and the condom and seen by all teengers as connon sense so much so they look at us like some sort of demented loosers as it makes no sesne why we get flusters by whats only normal natural and often loving and pleasurable sex.


And why onl earth ould anyone be so stupid as to have onprotected sex.


To them its like someone sticking a fork in a plug to see if its witched on.


See these facts and figures, better still get the Davina macall documentry

The kids are still kids doing and liking kids stuff. the sex stuff is acedmeic to them like geography or chemistry.

Nore do they want to do it simply as know about it as the opposite sex still has boy or girl coodies

Answer 11

So tell them, according to the age each of them is - what you think they will understand. Better the right information come from you. Keep the information at their level of maturity - for example, you would tell a four year old something very different than you would tell a seven year old.
