So, my 4 year old little boy told me the baby is going to, "bust out of your belly button mommy!" I told him I hoped not (b/c my first thought was C-section). He asked me (very honestly), "then where does the baby come out then?" I need suggestions please on how to handle this talk or situation. I know a lot will say to just be honest...and I think I'm ok with that...I think. haha Suggestions please.
Re: 4 year is asking questions
If you want to go a little bit more into it, you can tell him boys and girls have special parts where pee pee and poo poo come out, and mommys also have another hole for babies.
If she wants more details I will show her my CS scar from her birth! But I'll tell her babies usually come out of their mom's vaginas. I'm all for proper terminology. I doubt she will ask for more details beyond that.
For 4 and 5 year olds I would look into some age appropriate books too.

At 4 I think you could tell the truth, just in terms he would understand. You don't have to go into nitty-gritty details to be honest.
But like she said, he's also smart. So I still wouldn't lie. Maybe just gloss over details.
I second everything you said. Not a big deal.
