If you’re looking for a ‘how babies are made’ book, you’re in the right place! As I have found lots of them for you!

For many parents,  children’s books (about how to make a baby) can make a tricky subject, much easier! Especially if your child is already asking questions about how babies are made!

But luckily, there are some fantastic children’s books that will allow you to explain this honestly (and hopefully more comfortably) to your child.

Not sure where to start? I’ve rounded up my favourite books for explaining how a baby is made to make choosing one easier.

The books listed here are all books that talk about how babies are made. Which means that they will all talk about sexual intercourse. You can find the books that don’t talk about sexual intercourse (or how babies are made) in the ‘where do babies come from’ book list.

If you are unsure about how to start talking with your child about sexual intercourse, you can find more in this blog post about how to explain sex to kids. If you need more help, then you might like my illustrated parent guide, Where Babies Come From, as it breaks sex into 5 simple steps with information relevant for their age or stage of curiosity.

Find practical tools to educate kids about sex education in the Sex Ed Shop

If you’re looking for a book on a different topic, look at my main list of sex education books for children. It includes over 40+ topics!

You’ll also find more information about sex education on my Sex Education 101 page.

NOTE: Before passing any book to your child or reading it with them, you should read it yourself first. I might think it is a great book for a certain age child or that the information is valuable, but you may disagree. Try to choose books that reflect your values and the messages you want your child to receive.
