My friend just texted me and said that out of no where her 5 yo asked her where babies come from. She asked me how she should explain it. I'm the wrong person to ask because I do not have childern lol.



So have y'all ever had your little one ask you that? And if so how did you explain it?

Why would she ask you how to explain it? Can't she figure it out on her own?

My answer, "they're just born and you'll find out the details when you're older", followed by a quick subject change. It's worked so far.

Awww... tell him babies come from Babies 'R Us and that mommies who keep their receipts get to take the babies back and trade them in if they don't do their homework, clean their room and eat their veggies as they grow up.

Dammit. I wish that I would have thought of that one!

She was just caught off guard, I told her to tell him that it happens when you hold little girls hands lol

As long as she knows she can't go get kids from BJ's.

My son was an avid Animal Planet watcher at that age, (Still is), and I explained it in scientific terms of animals. Short, sweet, to the point without too much info. "You know the lions mate and have cubs?" "Yes" "People are the same way." "ok" and off he went...no more questions.

Oh hell no. That would NEVER work with my kids. They'd not only ask more questions, but they'd drive me insane doing so. Then again, I don't let them watch any animal mating.

I thought this was in a private forum




So embarrassed now.

tell her most babies are carried in their mommy's tummy until they are ready to come home, then mommy goes to the hospital and the baby is born. No reason at 5 to explalin how the baby gets in the tummy. I've not had one ask at that age either :shrug:

When my daughter was younger I told her that babies came from the mommy's belly. If mommy and daddy wanted a baby, one would appear and then come out of mommy's belly button. They don't need graphic details at a young age, and one day the figure it out on their own.
