How to explain to 6 year old ds that getting him a little brother is not that easy?

[DrNortherner]

"Go to the hospital and ask for a seed" says ds, as he currently says he wants a little bro.

Help required for explaining that actually, it is not that easy.

Thanks

I have this problem with dd. She is now 8 and has been asking for a brother or sister for years.

I suppose it depends how much you have told him about how babies are made etc.

I try to explain that our bodies don't always work how they are supposed to

I have told hime very little tbh.

Just think that 6 seems so young. Maybe I should though.

I don't think 6 is too young at all.
There are loads of book you can use. Just deal with it as you would any other question.
A few tips here

"Always ask more questions before you offer any possibly over-complex information. Kids are sometimes simpler beings. And very literal. You could find you've just done the whole shenanigans and they only wanted to know where the baby grows. Which, if the child is very young, it only needs a finger pointing to the tummy. Don't rush to offer all the facts, but keep an open conversation going. Till when? Till they stop asking, be it 18 or 80!"
