What do you tell your child when they ask "the question?"

[MummaSue]

Hehe, we always wonder about this one - when DD asks, as she was IVF.

So there will be "this is how babies are made" BUT "this is how YOU were made"

I went to a talk at the library on "how to talk to your kids about sex" (by author Meg Hickling) and she recommends telling them everything as soon as they ask, as it is a lot less awkward and they just grow up knowing that that is normal and natural. I bought her book "Boys, Girls and Body Science" and its very detailed. I love it

DS is almost 3 and we have told him everything. When I was pregnant with DD we read books to him which explained everything from how babies are conceived, how the baby forms/grows, and how the baby comes out. We didn't skip over anything either, I read him every detail, even the parts about sex. He LOVED those books.
