Now i am facing a BIG PROBLEM!!! Because of my daughter wanting to buy my cousins son,she asked me to make a baby so we don't need to buy one. I told her "okay.lets tell Papa we need to make a new baby brother for you" She went really happy and scream while jumping in to our bed Suddenly, she turn to me and ask me. "Ma,How do you we make babies?" Because i think she is not ready to understand "how to make a baby" i told her "we need to bake it first and Papa need to be here because i need him to bake the baby" What do you think guys?At seven,do you think she will understand if i tell her how to make babies?or must i explain it to her at her early age?

tamirs I am sure she will get confused with it more. She is too young to still understand it I guess; and every word you tell her she will definitely come up with another question. Once she's 10 or 11, pretty sure she'll understand it more as it will be taught to school. Then you can continue explaining her the baking stuff

hey, telling her can cause lots of laughing moments.because when you are explaining her, she will surely come up with lots of question and queries.like what, how? that will make you laughing out loud,may be by her answer you will burst into the tears. give it a chance and explain her the prccedure,may be you will come up with another set of discussion.

I also thought about that I need to prepare myself to answer all the question that will arise.

I feel you need not explain anything to your child at this stage.Just tell her that giving a baby to anyone is God's choce; all we can do is to pray and ask Him for it.He would choose to do it when He thinks fit. You can also tell her that your child herself is your precious gift whom God chose to give. You will have to tell her that God has given this to your cousin now and He will do it when he feels the time is right.

hi! She is too young to understand intricacies of making a baby. You could tell that it takes lots of months to make a baby and for that her Papa needs to do some kind of magic with her mummy to make a new baby. (lol! Difficult question to answer as per her level of understanding)

LOL... The idea of Papa doing magic with Mom is unique... The kid will surely accept it... :-) Good Luck!

Do not blush ...... ......while answering ........answer to her in a normal manner and if she raises further questions, you could tell her that when she will grow up, rest will be made known to her at that time.

Ho ! Your daughter is too cute I love her. I need such a one I think it is not better to tell it to her because it may affects your daughter. Sometimes may not. Most probably she will not understand anything because she is a kid. So are you planning to bake one?

Oh.. That is so sweet of the kid.. I trust every parent goes through this.. Mine did too and they replied by punishing me so severely that I thought it was sin to have kids. It took ages to come over the fear and understand that it was natural... So... Whatever you do, do not punish your child. She asks it because she does not know it... Talk to your husband. Its not necessary to explain the entire process. Just tell her that it might take an year. And you can plan for your second kid now. Good Luck!

Trust me pearl,we never raised a hand to our daughter even if they did wrong.There is no lesson to learn in hitting a child. Just that my daughter is so talkative and ask a lot question

Her talkative and inquisitive nature is a sign of her talent... It shows her desire to explore the unknown... Its a good opportunity for you to have a second child.. Your daughter will get a companion and the new kid will bring more happiness to your happy world... Take care...

That is a very sweet and innocent sounding explanation. At seven years old the real story would not be right to say. My two year old daughter goes to a childminder. Her childminder got pregnant on her trip with her husband to Dubai. She didn't tell me she was pregnant until she reached twelve weeks pregnancy. I have told my daughter her tummy is getting bigger because she has a baby in her tummy. I don't want to use a words like in the real story. My little girl plays with dolls including baby dolls in a pram.

Your two year old daughter sure will be as smart as my daughter or more so maybe you need to prepare an explanation early. Kids these days are really smart.

Hello, That is really cute! I like your explanation to your child since she is really innocent. Good job in explaning to her of course in that age parent should keep there innocent for not to do things that is unexpected when they grow up. And besides only few children nowadays are really innocent because some of them are open to the fact on how to make a baby. Right? So, if i were you take care of the mind of your child.

As you said,a lot of children now adays knows about this.So i thought i should tell her that too,But i know as of know she is still innocent and i don't want to spoil that as early as now. Thanks for agreeing with me on this one.I know that time will come that i should tell her the truth maybe then she has the ability to accept everything to make her more smart in other ways.

Well i think it is too early, and if you compare to school biology is not taught till 8th grade so maybe let's just wait till she is much much older. Anyway your take on explaining how to make a baby is awesome, baking to make a baby and you didn't lie actually because you still said that you will require your hubby's help to bake for a baby, kudos to you tamirs, anyway hope that when your hubby comes home you'll be set to bake a healthy and bouncy baby boy. TC...

i think at seven she can understand enough but you must explain it in an educational way..like i saw this on knowledge channel about topic about human reproduction..there were 3 of them, an old man and two kids a boy and a girl about ages 8 or 9..he explained to them about it in an educational way and not in a malicious way how the babies came to be..so i think you should explain it to your daughter that way or you can research maybe on youtube something an educational video that explains it..and let her see it with you and explain to her that way if she really insist and ask about it. i'm sure at her age, she can understand enough and realize also will be educated about it..

I don't think you need to deal with the more personal details. You can tell her that daddy has to help you make the baby. Then it grows in your belly. Then show her using a calender how long it takes the baby to grow in you.

My son asked me how a baby goes inside a mother's tummy. I just said that "We need to pray really hard and God will use his power to put a baby inside a mother's tummy."

Wonderful question. I'd prolly say babies are created by counting the stars above and the last star counted a baby will fall from the sky.

If that will be my explanation maybe we will stay all night long and the next nights counting all the stars and waiting for them to fall

So sweet... Hahahahahhaaaa...... Its very nice of you to explain this. At my place they say that fairy comes in the night and leaves the children to the parents. But this baking idea is damn new to me. I dont think that you should explain the biological process to the kid now. Its way too early for that.

Hi vishal, Because she always watches Tinkerbell and fairy stories,that will not be a good idea for her We might stay all nights awake waiting for Tinkerbell to come

I am sorry but I read this and couldn't help but giggle and smile. My kids are 3 and 4. Both boys and my oldest wanted another little brother and my three year was like 'yeah another brother'. And my sister had a baby not too long ago so my four year old was just like 'mommy can you put another baby in your belly like my aunt so I can have another brother' I honestly did not know what to say, so I said maybe later as with two toddlers I am not where near ready for another one. Now she had told him that babies get into mommies bellies if they eat watermelon seeds because she was near addicted to watermelon at the time. So while we are eating watermelon I get... 'mommy are you going to have a baby now since you ate watermelon' I just changed the subject XD. It was just too cute to me especially with his little four year old voice and not being able to pronounce everything properly. :)

wow, you daughter is very cute. i think what she want is not baby as "kid", but she wanna have a baby brother or sister. may be sometime you have to explain the process of baby creation, and its social responsibilty, like who may have got a bbay or who may not, what we have to do and what we may not

Hi macanan, You are right,she want to have a baby brother.She already have a name to give her baby brother. Maybe in a year or so ill try to explain it further to her,as of now,i'd say that she isn't yet prepared for things like such.
